SC + CAI
If I ever want to get a supercharger down the line, will I have to get rid of my C&L CAI? I would assume it would replace it, right?
And would this be different with a turbo?

Which one would be compatible?
Because I'm considering putting all other mods on hold until I can buy one.

Awesome - thanks.
What about turbochargers? Because those utilize the exhaust stream - making them more efficient, right? Would any turbo be accessible with my set up?

i dont think so. all of the turbo setups i've seen have alot of piping which moves the intake around.

Alright, thanks for the info.
I planned on aiming for a sc anyways, I much prefer the sound.
How does the saleen compare to others like the kenne bell superchargers?

well i'm no supercharger expert by any means. not sure where you are in cali but Hardcore Mustangs in San Diego should be able to help. I know JDM Engineering in New Jersey are the some of the best with the Saleen superchargers.
There is a boosted/forced induction section on the forums. you can get some good info there

I'm near LA, so San Diego wouldn't be too far a drive for me. Thanks.
And sorry if I posted in the wrong section
