Welp....looks like i'm not gonna S/C now.
I had about 1800 saved up and was gonna get a used p1sc kit from a friend. However, i've been dreading even 6psi of boost on a stock high mileage motor. I'm gonna just wait and do a new forged shortblock and a s/c all at once.
I have the money for a supercharger and tune... however I dont for a shortblock as well, I just cant afford blowing that motor while i still got a year of college left. Everytime I got on it I know I would be scared and I dont want to have that.
Looks like im just gonna do cams, i'll install them myself so it wont cost that much and just save the rest for a shortblock... that probably wont be done for another year
. It just sucks... i was hoping for around 375rwhp but I talked myself out of it on the stock motor with around 75k on it.

yeah man, 75k isn't bad at all, you've got a lot of life left in that stang. now i've got 122k and won't think about a s/c. i think the general rule of thumb is you can s/c as long as it's under 100k

What do you mean man?? My car is my daily driver and when I get enough money, I'm supercharging it the first chance I get. With a good tune, it will be a great daily driver. It's all in the tune.

Yeah, but when you have seen 2 cars blow up on the dyno before it can even get tuned........
