Default New here, loving it!

Hey guys, I've been reading a lot on here on the last couple of days. It's awesome.

I was always infatuated with Mustangs, now at 17 I bought my first Mustang last week.

Mustang 01
-Black Interior/Exterior
-Leather
-Sunroof
-Auto/V6

Got it for 4,500$, nothing wrong with it either.


Also even if it's a V6, it's awesome. Sometimes I do feel small and weak when I pull up to a GT, but oh well.
Also is supercharging it a good idea?

Here are some pics.

Sorry to sound like a noob here, but how much am I looking into if I supercharge?
After the upgrade, will there be a possibility of car issues?
Whats better Supercharge or Turbo/twin?

Whats a good brand? Thank you all for the welcoming.

Well, whether it's a v-6 or v-8, the very first thing I would do is replace your factory air box with a cold air intake. It unrestricts the car's airflow, which is bogged down by the EPA. This alone will improve gas mileage and add some horsepower. Search under "CAI" or "cold air intake" and you'll find every question you could probably ask regarding CAI. If you're strapped for cash, you can get a cheaper one on Ebay for less than $100, but you WILL get what you pay for. I bought a cheap one when I first got my stang, then saved my pennies to get a customized tuner from Bama Chips and a C & L Intake for about $600. It may sound like alot of $ compared to the first one I bought, but we are talking NIGHT and DAY both in performance and in looks. Hope this helps.
