RE: supercharged mach 1
Why is it a strict N/A car? I've never heard that term used.
Some inexperienced, wrongly informed internet information passer-on'ers will say it's a bad idea to supercharge Mach 1's. They only say this because a quick to spit out poor information member said so & they will go around repeating it without having any sort of information to back it up.
They say this because of the Mach 1's compression ratio. These people tend to forget that a car with a higher compression ratio will more than likely make more HP with the same amount of boost as the same engine with a lower compression ratio, however the higher compression ratio engine will reach it's durability limits faster because of this.
Supercharge a Mach 1, it'll be a blast. Keep the HP under 450 and keep saving your pennies just incase a failure does happen.

Its not like it would be a bad idea to s/c a mach. Your just limited to how much hp you can push out. It doesnt have f/i so it wont take too much over about 450 or so like dan04cobra said. I know that if i had the money i wouldve put one on my car a long time ago.

RE: supercharged mach 1
I know the 99 Cobra isn't 'exactly' like the Mach one but close.. I'm no expert either.. I however did boost my motor and have had no problems.. Although, I've only put on about 800 miles since boosting it and only drive it 'maybe' once a week to the store.. Every time I get in the car I run it hard.. Hell, if I only drive it once a week you can bet your butt I'm gonna run it..
I was actually shooting for about 425 at the wheels but my tuner felt otherwise.. Thus, I'm a bit higher then that.. Either way, you will have a blast.. The car 'should' last for a while.. I'm guessing that I will only see 'maybe' 30k out of my motor before I have to rebuild it and REALLY put some boost into it..

RE: supercharged mach 1
Anytime you added any sort of forced induction on a cast engine you will be shortening it's life. Depending on the driving style/tune/luck of the draw the engine will last 5k miles or go well over 100k miles. It's all about how well you maintain the car and how hard you drive the car.
You are putting more strain on a higher compression engine with a S/C. But since the limitations for a N/A 2v & 4v are the same, it doesn't really make a difference.
Supercharge it, have a blast. But make sure you save your pennies for a new shortblock. It's not any more of a risk than supercharging a 2v.
