RE: why not turbo!!??
No cheap or easy turbo systems available for our stangs because the 4.6 engine is so large (physically). There are so many things that would need to be replaced to go with a turbo - it would entail new headers, k-member, alot of extra piping, etc. and the engine would have to be removed from the car to fit everything. So cost and ease of installation are the main reasons for going with a supercharger. I'd rather have a turbo as well.. as long as its sized properly you will get more peak hp over ANY supercharger and more torque and down low power than ANY centrifugal supercharger.
