Ummm really?

Well, rebuild your motor first... get a new tranny, new tires, new suspension, new axle, new driveshaft, etc, etc...

that's about all you'd need to do, piece of cake...

Hyperturismo, you didn't say what your goal is for your Stang. Just saying that you want a supercharger and NOS makes it sound like you're a real New-B. My recommendation would be to read all that you can and keep asking questions. Meanwhile, keep driving and learning about your new Stang. From what I've read, a GT's drivetrain should hold up OK with an added supercharger or reasonable use of NOS. Use of both at the same time requires a smart tune and the things StupidTodd listed in order to keep from quickly granading something.

Welcome to the forum!

The best build I have seen on the new GT was done by Sutton Perfomance in Illinois. They can get you below 10 but its gonna cost you. To get into the 10's you are gonna have to do a lot. But look at it this way
Supercharger $5000
Headers Back $1200
N/O System $150-200
Wheels and tires big enough to support that kind of power $5000 minimum
Paying someone smart and experienced enough to build it right 48-72 hours of labor $3360-5040
Port Polish $1000
Regrinding your cams $500
Miscelaneous Reinforcement upgrades $2000

For a grand total of $19,940 (at a minimum disclaimer)

Seeing the look on the face of that guy with the 7 liter Z06 when you smoke his @ss. Priceless

Be careful how far you go remember she is a machine and the more stress you put her under = the shorter her life expentency and if she's brand new you don't want to do any of this until you break her in completely. I wouldn't change a thing until 5000 miles
If its your goal to blow up your competitors on the strip I would recommend dumping the 4.6 and replaceing the engine all together. You can build the 4.6 to do a lot but there is always gonna be someone faster. I have seen a 350Z run mid 8's so if you want to compete with that you are probably gonna need at least a 5.0 Sutton can give you that too.

Best of luck with whatever you decide
