Default Supercharger is it a risk!?

Hey guys, I just want to know if it is worth getting a supercharger? I want to keep my 06 Mustang GT w/ stick for the rest of my life, along with the stock block engine. I just want the power there when I need it ( off the light and a few times at the track). I got a shop that says it wouldn't be a problem, just that he'll tune it so it doesn't have have much of a spark than it could, just so it'll decrease the risk of detonation. So... is it possible to have a supercharger and a stock mustang gt forever????

Sure. As long as you don't drive it. I'd put the money elsewhere like college, etc.

What a completely unhelpful post.

A blower with a conservative tune will be just fine. When you get into big HP numbers you start to run some risks, but a good blower with a correct tune will not do any harm to your engine or your car. Lots of us here run Saleen and other blowers with no issue on the daily driver thing or on longevity. That is how places like Roush and Saleen can offer these products... because when done correctly there is no down side (other than cost).
It isn't spark really that cuases the issue it is timing and fuel/air ratio that you ahve to watch. There are a lot of good tuners out there that can set you up with a nice safe tune that will still give you a ton of extra grunt when you mash into it.

Enjoy Saleen302

John Wayne was a ****
He liked to play SS
Kept a picture of Apolph,
Tucked in his cowboy vest
Sure he would string up your mother
Sure he would torture your pa
Sure he would march you up to the wall
Sure he would hang you by your last ball

[Chorus:]
He was a ****
But not anymore
He was a ****
Life evens the score

John Wayne slaughtered our Indian brothers
Burned their villages and raped their mothers
Now he has given them the white man's lord
Live by this, or die by the sword

John Wayne killed a lot of gooks in the war
We don't give a **** about John anymore
We all heard his tale of blood and gore
Just another pawn for the capitalist *****


John Wayne wore an army uniform
Didn't like us reds and **** that didn't conform
Great white hero had so much nerve
Lived much longer than he deserved


Late show Indian or Mexican dies
Klan propaganda legitimized
Hypocrite coward never fought a real fight
When I see John I'm ashamed to be white
Death bed Christian of this you avowed
If God's alive, you're roastin' now
Well John, we got no regrets
As long as you died a long and painful death

Well the singer from that band (MDC) who wrote that song is gay anyways. But enough of this, let's talk about s/c now!
