S/C'd longevity
say i got a supercharger( any reputable s/c: kb, vortech, whipple, roush, saleen) and ran 5 psi (or lower, i dont need more than 400hp) does anyone have a ballpark of how many miles it would last me? im considering getting a blower but would not want to risk having to rebuild or anything like that because this is an everyday car and is relatively new (got it used 3 months ago 06 gt 13k miles)

RE: S/C'd longevity
Many people are running 450 rwhp with a GOOD tune, this is the key make sure you get it installed and tuned by a a tuner that has done the 05 and up Stang's. You will not have a problem, I was a little leary myself but after doing some research I'm going with the Paxton form Brenspeed.com . looking at 440 rwhp.
Manhatten Beach is a neat town, was there a few years back.

RE: S/C'd longevity
is hp at the flywheel the same as hp at the crank or what its dyno'd at? is that the same measurement as what my car is advertised at(300 hp). thats different than what it actually put out at the wheels, which is the rwhp?

RE: S/C'd longevity
300 to the fly, around 270 to the wheels
commen sence amoung mustang people is if you push more then 450 HP on a stock 4.6 you are asking for trouble, 500 and you are begging for it

RE: S/C'd longevity
I'm think about getting that same kit. I'll probably get it dynoed to check the air/fuel just to be safe.

The Roush S/C is the only one that won't void your warranty, when installed at a Ford/Roush Dealer. It's also the only one that is 50 states approved.

Some of the others are "pending", but the Saleen already is and comes with a nice sticker to clutter up your hood and make emissions people happy...
