Default supercharging a 2008 gt

i have had my mustang for about a month now and i cant wait untill i can modd it probaly another month or so.

i was looking at doing long tube headers, ford racing hot rod performace cam shafts ford racing 4.10 gears, bbk CAI and x pipe and ford racing twin 62mm throttle body.

my friend mentioned to me this place called pse supercharge that is pretty close to where i live. they specialize in rebuilt supercharges apparently the the best in the world.

i was thinking about getting my mustang supercharged now but i dont know how much the engine can handle if it could handel the mods i want to add to it and being supercharged.

should i just do the mods or should i just do the supercharged.

what mods would work best with the supercharge.

im going for speed and that mussel car sound

Do the supercharger first.....everything else after. No idea who pse superchagers is. Forget the TB, they don't do squat for our motors.

There is no single 'best in world' when it comes to superchargers for these cars. Each has advantages and disadvantages. Do your research on the topic before buying anything, understand what your various mods will do or not do with a supercharger in place.
You can install a mild-boost supercharger and keep the engine safe, but a very good tune is needed as well.

Read up before doing anything

Boost is AWESOME!!! But you need traction to go along with it. At UPR Products, we have a 2010 3V GT with a Roush blower. It runs 9.90s in the quarter, on UPR suspension of course.

You will probably be spending no less than 4k on supercharger and install if you have someone do it for you. you can get vortech for reasonable price but not intercooled. IF you get a good package ur looking at 5k easily if not more

Definitely long tube headers with a blower.

American Racing Headers are popular, and we carry them at www.uprproducts.com
