Default questions about SVT engines

Ok first off im only 14 and i dont own a mustang (Yet) , im looking to buy an '03/'04 terminator, or a Saleen. I'm leaning towards the SVT so if i put a Kenne Bell supercharger on it will i have any problems with the engine?

And since I can't legally drive yet i'm looking to go up in HP with Over-Time, Plus i have to buy my own parts.

The biggest problem a Kenne Bell blower will give you is all the speeding tickets you're gonna get

the terminators have forged internals so you can go up to pretty damn high boost before you throw a rod.

The mach 1's and terminators were both made in 03/04 and they both came with a 4.6l4V V-8 motor.
The mach 1's are rated at ~320hp to the cobra's underrated but blown ~390hp.

the mach 1 motor is basically an un-supercharged terminator motor. 320hp i dont know how accurate that rating is though...

i just turned 18 and i bought myself a 5.0 as my graduation present to myself and that almost broke the bank for me how is a 14 y/o going to afford an 03/04 cobra? even if you did get it your insurance rates for a 16 y/o with a cobra is going to be astronomical why not do what i did just buy a 5.0 for now its fast as hell and way fun to drive and not to mention unless you go to school with kids whose parents drive ferraris and let their kid borrow it you will pretty much beat almost anyone that goes to highschool with your 5.0

get your cobra after you graduate college or something so that your insurance will be a hell of a lot cheaper and then you will now how to handle power a bit better cause the last thing any of us want to hear is a post about how you wrapped a gorgeous cobra around a telephone pole and you wound up in the hospital for a week with broken bones

just my $.02 worth
