Hey everyone:

Another chapter to my power saga begins today...
I am incredibly indecisive about what to do with my car. I have three options right now and am just looking for some honest opinions.
1. Roots blower (found several brands for same money) - $2200
2. Patriot Stg 2 Heads and Cams - $1,200 (maybe I could use the extra $ for a little bit of suspension work)
3. Just save for a WRX (maybe not a popular decision but a practical one considering the area I live in)

Currently I do not have much done to my car at all: STS, FRPP c-springs, exhaust, K&N, Gears, Nittos.

You can't give up on the Mustang yet. You've only just begun. Dump the same amount of money a WRX would cost you into the Mustang and you'll never regret sticking with it!

I am getting these prices from my local merchandiser and craigslist mainly. Keep in mind the blowers are used and are roots style (aka saleen I and II, eaton) and the heads/cams are also used.

If you're already worried about traction considering where you live, then i would think a twin screw blower would probably not be the best idea. maybe a centri instead? if i were in your position and could get those prices i would jump on the charger because that seems like a great deal. could get you to the point where you would spank that wrx and you could always do heads/cams later to get more power.
