Default Ford Racing's Supercharger?

Anyone have any thoughts on them? Anyone using there kit. How much potential boost? I basicly just need the supercharger,brackets, and piping. I already have all the fuel system stuff. If not Ford Racing, who else has good pricing?

Thanks

I beg to differ; although expensive at times, every FRPP piece I've ever used has been better than anything else I've tried. It's usually where I go when the cheaper piece screws up or breaks. That being said however, in terms of the supercharger issue, I'd have to agree with socal on this one. FRPP makes them but go to a true supercharger only company who's whole purpose is to make them. Expensive and the best -try Kenn Bell or Roush but for practical use and in your application, I'd definately stick to Procharger or Vortech, they have too much experience in the Mustang world to be overlooked.

By the way, stick to centrifugal, roots is way too much work for not a lot of optional boost.

i say Procharger. comes with an intercooler, while with Vortech you have to pay and extra like $500 for their "aftercooler"......which is NOT an intercooler. but, i say Procharger imo. comes with EVERYTHING youd need too(plumbing wise)

FRPP makes a 6psi centrificual system. I know the kit is everything, encluding the injectors,pump and everything but I don't need all that. Is it called the tuner kit if all I need is the supercharger,brackets and piping? Vortech is the best but FRPP looked good just cause of the price.

The Ford Racing 6lb kit I have doesn't come with injectors or a new pump, but the FMU handles the richness well enough with the stock 19lb injectors. I believe the HP gain is around 86 HP or 40% at the flywheel with this blower. Compression should be raised to around 12.5+ (stock is 9.1).
I think some people change the pulley to 9lb. to get more out of it but I 'd watch getting too crazy, and with that I'd go with 24lb injectors and bigger fuel pump.
I have pushed this blower hard at times and it performed very well for me. Whichever kit you do, I recommend opening up the exhaust-if you already haven't, bigger headers are a great idea.

The FRPP blower is only a powerdyne unit and yes it works considerably well at 9lbs.You can go to Powerdynes site to see if it's what you want.
