Agree completely. I saved and put the supercharger on first.

Dead accurate

some suspension + gears + exhaust + slicks = win
add a 100 shot (with all the supporting goodies) and a shifter and you got a killer

i ditched the other mods for now and go straight to the nitrous. then after that, some 3.73s or 4.10s. then work on the other smaller stuff. i am pleased so far with my 75 dry shot and have had no problems with it. gears go in on aug 3rd.

you should feel a noticable increase in power nothing crazy but every mod helps.

full exhaust and gears should be your next upgrade.

If you arent supercharging it right now then, do gears, exhaust, tune, and thats it. Save for what really makes a difference and just be semi happy for now. It is all a waste on nitrous, suspension, etc until you have a real car making real power. Thats my opinion

I guess you kinda got me there....its quick and easy to get i guess. Its all what you want to do with the car and what money you have.

well i had an 03 mustang gt about a year ago before i got the 04 gt, and i had it spraying 175 nitrous, and every supercharged mustang that i raced i spanked them including cobras with some mods, i only spent money on typhhon intake with plenum and throttle body, also exhaust and gears. So if these mustangs are putting around 370 hp to 400hp and all i spent was around 1800 bucks while a supercharger is like 5000 bucks these days, its not worth getting a supercharger. ive heard this alot and i dont know if i was just lucky that my car never blew engine or whatever but alot of people underestimate the 4.6 enginewhen it comes to spray.

I totally agree! I spent roughly the same as you, and i always beat my buddy's Kenne Bell 03 gt, which puts down 410 rwhp (as well as several other blown stangs). And this is with just a 100 shot, gears, and bolt ons. All of this for like 1/4 of the price of a good supercharger.

Of course superchargers are great, but some of us don't need that power all the time.

I'm surprised you didn't have any problems spraying that much!
