You have an extremely nice car. Keep yours. You know what you have and what your car can do. Don't buy somebody else's headache. Look at all the things you have done to your car.

I think you have one of the nicest 94-98 stangs on here...

His car hasn't even been tuned? How long has he been running with without a tune?

Keep your car. If you are getting bored with it, do a black interior or something like that. That should keep ya going.

You will outrun him on the spray (granted his numbers are at 350 with his "rare" s/c which i personally have no idea about), and than you will outrun him on the twisties with all your suspension work. IMO you would be downgrading MASSIVELY.

You should be able to take the win on the juice.

Personally, i'd keep your ride, and build it.

if i keep my ride i was thinking about doing a set of long tubes and cms stage 2 cams and keep spraying her. who knows i just love the sound of a supercharger.

the guy bought the car the way it was. it runs perfectly and it doesnt run lean it was already done when he purchased the car. he purchased a vortech for a good deal and its for a 99-04 motor and all and he doesnt want to mess with his car by removing the blower. i need to run him lol

ive seen people selling that blower on craigslist, its a pretty crappy blower the only thing it has going for it is its kinda concealed. at first glance most people wouldn't notice the blower especially since it keeps a stock manifold/tb/plenum look.

i seriously doubt hes got 350rwhp with 30lb injectors, 6lbs of boost, and no major mods other than some "maybe" heads. the guy i saw selling the blower on craigslist was making around 300rwhp with full boltons and the blower.
