Rubrignitz, so will I just need to get use to the additional gearing that I am going to have....sort of like when I first got the S/C and had to get use to it and the additional power that it came with?

YES! you must learn to drive with what you have. I can feather the throttle off the line with what little I have and make progress. It's all about learning your car, traction issues, IMO. With 700hp, 4.10's and the right suspension setup you will STILL have to learn how to lauch the car. traction will always be a problem... successful drivers learn how to compensate for it.

With a supercharger, i would have nothing less than relocation brackets, aftermarket control arms and 305+ series rear tires. I was at a local exhast shop the other day.. the guy in front of me had a centri s/c's 2003 stang with 400rwhp. He had 18's and 295 DR's... looked at my 20'' 275/35's and said hmmmph! sad....

If you are on the fence about getting a blower what do you guys recommend? Waiting on replacing the factory gears until you decide? May be a while for me and I plan on doing other bolt ons before hand. I have the 3.55 rear.

depends on your objective and current mods. i would've gone twin-screw (whipple) right off the bat with a stock car. now that i have cams, 410's and the supporting mods for 6800rpm+ use I'll take a centri TYVM.
