You need A LOT of help. I'll start with spelling, someone else will have to work with you on the grammar. Sore = hurt. Sure is probably what you mean. Too, not to. limet? I'm guessing limited?

Get a 5.0 and blow it.

LOL I would say it all depends on your budget. If you have money dying to be spent, get an 03 Cobra its already supercharged. If your are looking for something not to expensive, then Buy a 96 cobra and put some juice on it.

What part of England? My wife and all of her family are from Portsmouth. Anyway... It all depends on how much you want to spend and what your goals are.

get a '98, i believe they went up on the horsepower in '98 (225 i think, although i'm not real familiar with that generation of Mustangs since i have an '02). before you bother with a supercharger, look into doing a PI Swap. since you're probably not real familiar with the Mustang's engine, i'll try to explain it as best as i can. the cylinder heads, cams, and intake on the Mustangs you're looking at leave the engine very under-powered. in 1999 Ford upgraded to what's called a PI setup (stands for performance improved, although i've heard other names for it). basically, you replace the cylinder heads, cams, and intake with those from a '99-'04 Mustang (it's a direct bolt-on replacement, all the parts are interchangeable, but you'll need to get the computer tuned after the swap to adjust the fuel and spark curves). there are a lot of retailers online that sell the parts to do this swap (just do a google search for "PI Swap" and you should find some good stuff), you'll be looking at spending somewhere in the neighborhood of $1500-$2000 (U.S.) for parts if you buy all new. you can probably find PI heads and intakes on eBay for less, but be cautious of used parts. i doubt there are many companies in England that sell Mustang parts, so you'll have to find a company in the U.S. that will ship to you. i'm not sure if the engine will meet Euro emissions standards after the swap though, so your best bet is to search for people in England who drive Mustangs and get their advice. the PI swap should get you quitea bit more power, i've heard people say they gained anywhere from 50 to 70 horsepower at the rear wheels with the swap. if you don't have much mechanical knowledge then you'll have to find someone to install everything for you, so good luck finding a mechanic there in England who works on modular Ford engines. i'd definitely do the PI swap before you look at superchargers, because your stock cylinder heads don't really flow that well (although i'm sure just bolting a supercharger onto the stock engine would give some modest increases in power). another thing to consider is the engine's compression ratio... when you do the PI swap, it increases your compression ratio, and it may be too high for a supercharged application. if any or all of this stuff just went way over your head, i'd suggest you look up some literature on the mechanics of a car and then learn about performance applications. there are a couple magazines here in the U.S. that you might try to pick up and read through, pretty frequently they have articles on some sort of engine build, and you can probably learn a lot about Mustangs just from reading those. check out Muscle Mustangs & Fast Fords (http://www.musclemustangfastfords.com/index.html) and 5.0 Mustangs & Super Fords (http://www.mustang50magazine.com/index.html). i hope this points you in the right direction.

How easy is it to get 93 octane gas in England? A PI swap or supercharger will require higher octane gas.
