If it's the ford racing/whipple then I'd go ahead and do it. If it's the magnacharger or roush charger I'd stay away.

But it depends on what kinda power you're looking for.

I want a supercharger

Not to Jack the thread, but why does the Roush get such a bad rap?

Because the Roush supercharger is a roots-type supercharger. Twin-screw superchargers are much better.

It is not all roots that make bad power though. It is more in the design of their blower, it is just not really efficient. The GT500 blower is a root style blower and it makes good power...

Don't forget that the GT 500 blower is placed on a larger engine from the start.

Yea also consider that stock rootblower can make over 650rwhp...His general consensus was that rootblowers are not efficient so I stated that was incorrect. He didnt say only on our cars
