Ive got a V2 on my car and my numbers are in my sig. I got the blower along with all of the supporting mods for 2.5K or so. There are multiple members on here who have done the same thing and they all have similar numbers.
Try and find one used, you will save a ton of money that way!

Thanks!! Is there anything to look for when buying a used supercharger besides low milage? How long will these last?

I am running the V2 and love it. Just make sure there is no shaft play and no noise when you spin it. I bought mine use and it already had 5000 miles on it. I have put another 4000 miles and still sounds great. I expect to put a lot more miles on as time goes by as this is my DD. My numbers are in my sig and with my intercooler going on this weekend I expect that number to go up. I don't see you spending $2300 new. Most of my stuff was used and I am in the $4000 range now including my intercooler set up.

Another V2 owner here... I bought my kit used for 1800 then adding intercooler and changing this around I ended up around 3k with tune. What are you getting with the kit?

The only functioning performance parts will be the supercharger and the tune....for a used S trim head unit, you can find them on either corral.net, svtperformance, ebay or any of the other mustang forums for around 600-900.

Sounds like a good start. I paid $850 for my polished V2 with 5000 miles on it. Good luck!
