99-03 Mustang GT Supercharger?
 
Hey guys, I'm back again and I ended up getting rid of my gorgeous '87 5.0 :-(
I'm about to be jumping into a 99-03 Mustang GT in another week or two and had a few questions. I would buy a Cobra, but they're too damned expensive around my way. So I wanted to get a few facts before I went off and did this.

Does anyone have any experience with using a bolt on supercharger with a completely stock 99-03 GT? Also, will the Cobra front/rear bumper fit on the GT's body style?

It's not a Cobra, but it'll sure as hell look like one XD

There are lots of guys here with various forms of superchargers on stock motors. They respond very well to blowers.
Yes, the front/rear bumper covers fit, just know there's a lot more to the Cobra body variations than those two parts.

Mine wasn't completely stock. The only thing it had was a catted midpipe, weld in mufflers, cai, and a 93octane tune and it put down 233rwhp and 266rwtq prior to the blower install. After the blower install it put down 339rwhp/359rwtq @5psi through a V1 S trim and my car is an auto. It was in the high 60s that night as far as the temperature goes and that was in Texas.

STOCK: heads,cam,intake, manifolds,plenum,and tb.

Why not find the Cobra you want with a supercharger on it and have it shipped to you and I bet you will still be cheaper than S/C and a GT

Yep they respond well to a little boost. My believe is build it right before you blow it but a lot of guys bolt them on stock motors. There is always a risks but I'd try to minimize the risks.

Mine was completely stock when I got it and the car runs great with the added blower. The bumpers are a direct fit. Just make sure if you get the rear bumper shave the Cobra letters off it.

If the "cobra" that he was talking about are the 03-04 cobra's I know in my area they still cost quite a bit. Like $20,000 with 60k type prices and 99-04 GT's can be had for as low as $7,500 and for used blower kits some ppl are paying less than $1,800. I paid $2,500 for my complete blower kit but it wasn't used it was brand new still in the box I just happen to find a deal on CL. People find deals on the 03-04 cobras but again that depends on luck and your area.

Putting a S/C on a GT isn't as expensive(subjective) as some may think it can start to cost more when you start to going with built motors and what not to get the most out of the blower.
