well if you go with something like the Kenny Bell twin screw it is internally lubricated so go with something easy like that. There are a lot of kits that are self lubricated and doesnt have to draw oil from the engine.

Yeap... I would go with Kenny Bell. I've heard a lot of good things about those superchargers. Get you a S/C on a '01 cobra pushing 12 to 15 PSI and you will be good to go. Make sure you get a good set of long tube headers and a better mid pipe and some magnaflows and you will be set to go with that. Hell with just that set up you will be running along side if not beating the '03 and '04 Cobra's. I would also throw some underdrives, short throw shifter, and some good gears. 2001 come with 3.27 rearend so I would upgrade them to 4.10. Dont worry about highway driving either, these gears only up the rpm's like 300 to 500. Thats no biggie. Let us know what you decide to do.

P.S. what are you looking o do when you go Active???

OR! if ya wanted
You can go with an old Fox, and drop 15k into it
Find a very nice low mileage one for like 5k or so
drop like 15k for mods and you'll have a beast of a mustang...

And if you're uneasy about Foxes, checkout mine if it doesnt change your mind .

Just click

You keep believing that Mr. Brainwashed. The sky is blue because the sunlight reflects certain gases in the atmosphere and we all know that! What you really need to do is get a job that can work for you in the outside and after returning from Iraq I can tell you right now... there isnt big employment numbers for killing people in the U.S. and I wouldnt depend souly on that degree you have either. I went aviation for a reason and now Im getting out with job ofers of up to $200,000 a year.

Not to tell you what to do but a bit of friendly advice says use your brain and not your braun! Just think about it.
