Default supercharger

which is the best supercharger for my auto 01 mustang gt, i am planning to get 3:73 gears, and already have the hyper tech programmer

which will give me most power and a faster 1/4 mle time if all the superchargers had some type of intercooling system

if you plan on getting one of them many centrifugal type superchargers, don't bother with 3.73 gears. get 4.10s all the way. if you get a saleen or KB, i'd get the 3.73s. i'm biased on my opinion of them since i have a vortech. everything i've read though, they're probably the best built superchargers. hell, my car makes just as much if not more power than a lot of people at the same psi with an intercooled one. mine isn't intercooled/aftercooled.

You have to decide if you want a manifold mounted twin screw or an engine mounted centrifical. The KB and the others are totally different. If you go with the Centrifical engine mount, I have both the Paxton and the Vortech, I like the Paxton best.

Oh, forgot to comment on the gears. According to how tall the tires are, you only need 3.55 or 3.73 gears with a blower.

Depends on how much PSI you want to run, what other mods you have to your engine, and what RPM range you're lookin to make power in.

Drop in a 3k rpm torque converter, and i'd go with a centrifugal, simply because they can pump out rediculous amounts of boost. But if your car's otherwise stock, get yourself a nice twin screw KB or even a roots type.
