Supras with a single turbo will make much more power up top while maintaining a similar low RPM boost #'s, with a properly sized turbo driveability is even better. Supras can make sick power but they suck at launching....I have seen 1/4 numbers where they run 11's with nearly a 140mph trap speed!
I raced a TT Supra and it had around 775 RWHP (he has since gone with a single set up and is almost at 1,000 at the rear wheels...its sick) and won one and lost one (I am only at 570RWHP) they are really not set up for the strip.
As far as a blower goes IMO DON NOT GO OVER 8 LBS OF BOOST EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Make sure its intercooled or you run a water/methonal injection to cool down the air charge, get larger (approximately 42lb) injectors, and get a Walbro fuel pump or add a Kenne Bell Boost a Pump to your factory pump. Then get a safe tune and keep the boost down and you can drive it forever.

he sounds like an idiot. one of those guys who thinks that only j@p engines can take psi. if he is 600 hp with only 1 turbo hes has turbo lag all to hell. has he actually dynoed it or is that bs tuner HP?
sounds like he was talking about the compression ratio. if he said that its to high he is an idiot.

I have a friend with a fast supra and he tells me that the mustang CAN NOT be reliable with a supercharger! I told him hes full of it.. but he was talking about compression and cylinders. can someone please give me a general run down of how it can be reliable.

Thats the dumbest comment ive herd to date on almost anyforum on the net... honestly, im not flaming, but lag is really overrated, most single supra make serious power @ or by 3500 and the curve only goes up from there, as for the dyno queen comment, you obvisouly dont look into the supra community very much huh? Marko D has a 1520 whp daily driven Supra running 8s, (100% full weight) Ryan woon 9.3 / 1.460ft street car (****ty run/tires No nitrous), Duy 9.9 on BL stock auto on DR's, Peter B. 9.6 with 300whp of power untapped, i can go all day with sub 9 second cars, his lag really depends on the turbo he is running along with many other endless factors but even with your SC you wont be able to run him down (if he has 600whp) unless he really cant drive...mustangs can be really fast street / strip cars, all you need is fuel and a tune and your stock internal stang will be fine

RE: supercharger gurus needed!!
Dont get me wrong.. hes not cocky about his car and hell I have sweat under it too.. hes completely dont all most everything to it but a damn tune and dyno..haha.. Hes just saying that basic he doesnt think a car "not made for pressure" cant run for a long time.. I think hes trying to protect me from not blowing my warrenty since its a new car.. but hell.. you guys are right.. as long as I dont go ver the line I dont see an issue.. just get the procharger, tune and maybe 4.10s and that will be it for me.. I dont think I'm going to hit the strip much if at all. Thanks for the info guys..

It's sad that he has 1500 rwhp and he's only running 8's. THAT'S WHY THEY'RE DYNO QUEENS. Think for 1 second please. Maybe you shoulda bought a supra seeing as they really seem to get you off.

Thats actually pretty impressive. It takes some serious power to get into the single digits. And the cars a daily driver so that makes it even more impressive. I'm not an import guy and they don't really interest me but they can still be made incredibly fast even with there small displacement.

I do have a 97TT 6Spd... Marko runs 8's, full weight daily driven street car, with countless other sub 9sec cars in the community, i was just stating some facts, in no way are they just dyno queens...
