Default Professional advice needed

First of all, If you are reading this and you have a supercharger,...I envy you. Second, I absolutely LOVE my '06 Black Mustang GT. I was VERY satisfied with the car when it was stock, and now I am EXTREMELY satisfied after all the work that I have put into it. But we all know that once you start with modifications it becomes an addiction.

I can not tell you how badly I want a supercharger. From watching flix on you-tube, to reading articles, what once was a desire has become an obsession. I have done my research but there is one question that has never been answered.

For a nice "twin-screw", after installation, how much am I looking at in terms of price?

I've always wanted a twin screw on top of my engine. Now when I get up the $$$ I think I'll go twin turbo. Research the prices on Kenne Bell, Whipple, Roush and Saleen and add a tune. Is it something your going to do yourself.

To answer the question asked by "Obsequious1", the answer is a big fat NO. I installed my CAI but a supercharger is a little out of my league. I appreciate all of your advice. Just out of curiosity, "FOBRA", ya mentioned some good turbo kits for the 2005. Do you have any in particular that you'd recommend?

Hellion, HP, STS, all are good kits, I think there is also a spearco kit that is like 4500. Out of all the potential systems a properly sized turbo is fastest way to fly

If you're looking for a simple install i would suggest a centrifugal supercharger, but personally for a street car i would recommend the twin-screw or roots supercharger. Keep in mind with the turbokit you will have to take your oil pan off to tap it, it's a bit of work if you're not mechanically inclined.
