Hey guys hows it giong just bought my new gt silver with black strips auto.
Now i can choose two paths.
I bought this car as a daily Driver but i want it to have more ompph.

i can go with the ford racing super charger bringing it up to 400 hp bplus headers and complete exhuast and some other bolt ons

or i can go no boost and do full bolt ons

or are there other superchargers that my auto would be able to handle?

Your car can handle any SC on the market that is made for it, just watch your rwhp most here stay below 460 with stock internals. Search this forum and you will find hundreds of threads on this subject.

+1

No boost and bolt-ons onlyMAY get you into the 340-350 RWHP range with some internal work. But if you're going to spend that kind of money, go aspirated.

I would say go with a couple of small upgrades before you go drop $5000 on an s/c but thats just me. I have always favored the Saleen superchargers, brenspeed offers some nice packages on them.

If you want a supercharger, the favorites around here seem to be Whipple and Saleen. Nobody that I know of has reported back disappointed, and they both can get you well over the 400rwhp you were looking at.

That being said, if you're still completely stock and don't want to spend $6000 or so, get a cold air intake (CAI) and tune. It will make your driving experience SOOO different without really denting your wallet, plus it's supposed to increase your horspower by about 5-10% or so from stock.

I know that for me, if I'd been a passenger in my car before and after the retune and CAI, I would have thought they were two different cars.

I am a HUGH jack roush fan; but, when It comes to a S/C I have to go with steve saleen. After reading the forums here - I will have breenspeed do the jobhen I'm ready to have it done.
