Supercharger and our 4.0's??
 

I know this is probably a very dumb question but I see 4.0's on here with superchargers in them... How do we get one installed on our car because on americanmuscle.com they only have superchargers available for GT's and I was under the understanding that they are different sizes(4.0 and 4.6).....

there are several option:
- X-Charger by explorer express
- Vortech
- ProCharger

search through these forums for more info on each

the x charger is the only real "supercharger" for the V6, the others are turbos.

Vortec and procharger are centri superchargers ...

Vortechs and Prochargers are "real" superchargers chargers too...

x-charger puts out about 335 hp 400 hp on the 'beta' intercooled version

Video from TV featuring it the installation^

It's about 4.9 grand installed depending on if it's on sale or not, and FYI American Muscle is like a WalMart of mustang aftermarket companies. You wouldn't get an Armani suit there.

Try shopping at that website sometime^

Here you go:

All running equivalent safe levels of boost, except for the turbo who's waste gate is kicking in too late to be the best equivalent. All intercooled. All costing $4500

Yellow = Twin Screw
Black = Centri
Red = Turbo

An extra peice of information: a centrifugal supercharger sounds exactly the same as a internally vented turbo, this means that based on comparison there is no conceivable reason to ever get a centri.

This information also demonstrates a reason for buying a supercharger over a turbo (besides reliability tunability and drivability for the supercharger). That reason is below 3500 rpm the supercharger makes 30% more horsepower and above that the turbo makes 20% more.

what would you need to go w/ the sc? new tranny, gears?

how much power can the 4.0 make with a sc?? always been curious of those lil bastards..

they can make a honest 300rwhp and tq to match with an intercooled system.
