Default Boosted vs stock s550 ?

Hi all , so I've started a similar thread. I've never had a chance to drive a supercharged car . My 2017 mustang gt with 435hp or so is the quickest car I've been in . Pulls in 1st gear from a stop are very aggressive . Loud and violent. How I like it .

What I'm wondering is , with a supercharger and 650+ hp , how different is the power and speed from the stock s550 ? Is there a massive difference , just noticeable difference? Is it worth the money to go boosted? I've heard that 3 and 4th will feel as violent as a 1st gear pull In a stock car ?

Normally I would say dumb question. Of course there is a massive difference in power and you can certainly feel it unlike the CAI, exhaust minimal gains everybody thinks you can feel. Only you can justify spending that kind of money for a ride that will certainly help you get bigger tickets faster. You will probably spin the tires easily in the first 3 gears and with a little luck, 4th as well. That kind of power can get away from you in a hurry so unless you are a decent driver (in reality and not your mind) I would stick with what you have.
