I was bored reading in a grocery store line and I was reading an import mag since the cover read "S/C your Import" It had the costs and estimated gains from the S/C kits, it was PATHETIC. The parasitic loss is too much for those little engines, they do much better with Turbos. That would have probably been ugly, and I really doubt you would have started to catch back up.

Dont get me wrong I think some of those cars make really impressive power, but I have yet to see a four banger with a s/c that really impressed me. A turbo is just more efficient and since the four bangers dont make alot of HP they need that efficiency.

s2k are slow even with a blower they can only make 240 rwhp due to high compression pistons

Todays Mustang is HEAVY.....NOSE heavy....weight distribution, weight transfer, power to weight ratio, engine rpm, torque, aero, gear ratios, all work against a Mustang in a street fight with a fwd, turbo'd or s/c light weight 4 banger with a good driver. Don't get me wrong, I love my Mustang, but its not a drag car or even a fast car, what it is ...is a great looking GT with and excellent ride..If you bought it thinking you can mod it up to compete with whats on the street today, be prepared to invest heavily in suspension upgrades, a better transmission, more displacement, room for more tire....and shift all the weight possible toward the rear of the car. If it doesn't hook up, nothing else matters much. You can have all RWH in the world and it won't matter.
