What is involved in a Supercharger Install on a Mainly Stock 4.6L GT?
I would assume that there is more modifications that need to happen to the motor other then just installing the supercharger. What other modifications or uprgrades need to happen in order to have a succesful supercharger installation?
Currently. The only modifications to the motor are a Steeda CAI, a Accufab 70mm TB, and a C&L Performance Plenum. I also have an H-Pipe/Flow Master exhaust upgrade.

get a complete kit with injectors, fuel pump, maf and a good tune and off you go. you wont need your cai anymore. also, what year is your car, that may change a thing or two.

yes, check ati and vortech and paxton, STAY AWAY FROM POWERDYNE! (for centri) check saleen, kenne bell (roots type/twin screw). superchargersonline, modularpowerhouse, yadda. do a google search for dealers and see who has the best package prices. If you are competent, you can install yourself, then go get a tuna.

I ordered my SC from Procharger.. I got a Stage II P1SC, 3 core intercooler, 42 lb. injectors and a fuel pump for $4883.00.. Everything came directly from Procharger..
My car is at the shop now getting everything installed and tuned.. I'll let you know Friday how everything went..
I was told I 'might' need a new mass air sensor but time will tell when they start to dyno it..
I checked into Vortech and they seemed ok but I wanted to stay away from relocating my battery to the trunk for the water intercooler.. Kenny Bell seemed ok but was about $6,500 for the SC alone.. Too rich for my blood.. I didn't really look into Paxton because they are basically the same as Vortech from what I hear..
Hope it helps..

I wouldnt get the aftercooled vortech either. I would just put together my own i/c which i may do someday or just go teh cheap way and do the boost cooler.

Dang... You just missed a good deal from THR with there twin screw saleen type IV blower. Glad I jumped on it. But yea..... Id go with a Twin Screw for a Track car. And a centri for a street car. Just my opinion.
