I would go with paxton novi 1200 or 2000 but you also have to think about bigger injectors which isnt cheap but that depends on your boost u want.

DONT do a kenne bell, I used to be so into them and wanted one for so long but the twin screw is NOT needed on a mustang. Your already pushing out more torque then hp in a mustang ESPECIALLY with your set up which generally means more power in the lower rpms, Im loving those 72lb injectors btw, those are nuts. The twin screw gives you more power through the whole band of rpm from like 2200-5500 but doesn't boost like centrifugal blowers do. Search videos online of KBs versus like a paxton or a vortech, you'll thank me. I say do a vortech with a high psi and you'll be very happy and save yourself money compared to a kenne bell.

Why not turbo? You already have teh fuel system, with that budget you can get a complete turbo, and then have some cash left over for a tune/misc. items. If my blower cannot be rebuilt cheaply this is the route im going

proper turbo setup can be much better than a s/c car.

so ya think just get the turbo, and forget the supercharger all togethor? i don't know if anyone has heard of ponydown or not, but for the price i don't think ya can beat them. i'd rather have a turbo but i thought the tuning and everything was more expensive. i know if ya have a turbo running 12 psi compared to a supercharger running 12 psi, the turbo will build a ton of more power. i'm kinda trying to keep $ put back for other cars, i have 4 mustangs, but thanks guys so far for the help keep it coming, cuz i still haven't made my mind up yet.

you spend what it takes to make the combo right and perform right or else[sm=shootshoot.gif]kaboom..you need a adequate fuel system..supporting mods, boost retard/ ignition capable of that , supercharger kit, a tune to make sure timing and fuel are optimal after it's all said and done...gauranteed your budget will be exceeded
