Default How much power?

How much power can a 01 4.6 Mustang gt handle? I am investing in a supercharger and I dont want to blow the motor. The car has 50k miles on it. It runs very good though.

What is the best supercharger I can buy? What do you guys think about Vortech compared to Paxton and the others? I plan on adding headers, a dual cat-back exhaust, throttle body, and the MAF as well as computer mods. Can I go allot ferther with bolt on mods or is there a set hp rang I cant go past? I dont plan on dragging the car just make it a little more powerful to drive.

Thanks,
Chris

You need to go and look in the pipes, boost, and juice section.

If you go over 300rwhp I'd look into better head bolts and gaskets.
Make sure you get it tuned on a dyno when it's done.

I thought the '94s were 5.0? I didn't know that Ford made a 6 psi kit for those.

the only SC I'd recommend is Procharger, but again best place to check things out is the pipes and boost section.
