Supercharger ?

I have a 2000 mustang GT with about 112k on the motor, would it be smart to supercharge it and if so, what boost could I run on the stock internals.

RE: Supercharger ?

if you took care of the car, sure. there's a couple people on here that put blowers on their cars with more miles than that and never had a problem.

it's not the boost you have to worry about killing your motor, it's the power and tune. keep the power at ~400RWHP and you should be fine.

Yeah overall I have taken good care of the car. I saw a post on here for the 1500 dollar supercharger kit. Honestly how much am I looking at with everything?
