Default Supercharged?

I was looking at this car. I notice in one picture it has a extra gage(sp). I dont know im tired and cant think of what to call it exactly, but yea is it just a RPM shift like, boost gauge or what?

It's an aftermarket tach that looks like [:'(]. It's something I'd definitely take out. The factory one looks better and works just fine. If you want a shift light, you can buy those separate and make it look like it belongs.

Its not Supercharged, thats a big ugly tach. Get rid of it. Get rid of the GT-R badges. I hope you do buy it, just so you can save a poor mustang. And kiid2X, supercharging will help a lot. As to the best one for a 97, its going to depend on what your goals are. Id recomend an entry level vortech or Paxton for a near stock car. Before i supercharged it i would do a PI swap though.

i personally would never buy a car that has those things done to it because it means it was owned by some dumbass that probably drives is car way to hard and revs his engine at every car he stops by. probably many many burnouts done and all kinds of stuff. i wouldnt buy it.

A supercharger helps A LOT, but the exact amount varies depending on how many PSI of boost you're running. I run 10 PSI of boost and my RWHP increased by 110. And you can run levels higher than that or get an intercooler and get even more HP out of it.

There is no real "best one" to get, but I'd look at Prochargers, Paxton, Vortech, Kenne Bell. And I'd stay FAR away from Powerdyne
