Well seeing as to how your drive a V6 car, I understand lol. But 450 rwhp is fun. And a turbo kit is the most expensive way to get there. The supercharger kits still have PLENTY of room to grow as well...

Yes that is true but it has been proven that Turbo's are better I prefer a SC because the Sound/Look better to me but we all have to admit that for performance a turbo is better..Yeah a ProCharger or Vortech would be awesome but why not go ahead and get a D1SC/T Trim?

It all depends on what you want, and the size of the turbo, just the same as what you want and the size of the head unit of the supercharger. I am fine with my Whipple car, and it costs a lot less than a turbo.

Turbo has sacrifices. You want to make more peak hp, you need a bigger turbo, but you get more lag.

That is NOT the case with a supercharger.

If you have a target hp number, might as well get it with the less expensive route.

What is that supposed to mean?I like my V6 but it wasn't what I wanted..I still like it and will make the most of it though..And I'm sure that most Mustang owners will want more HP than they currently have..

No offense intended, but if I was driving a near stock V6 car, I too would be currently disappointed with the power I am making.

You just told me in a PM that your getting Dyno'd again with more Boost..Now why do you do this?I'm guessing you want more power.

Apples to oranges, my friend. Apples to oranges. I am still supercharged, so which direction do you want to take your argument now? I already said that the superchargers have room to grow. You are FAR from being stuck at 450 rwhp. Just a simple upgrade to the head unit, or pulley sway, and you have more power. Turbo's are not worth the extra money, if you can get to the same level with a supercharger.

i agree with procharging it or some centrifugal way if your pockets are tight...basically build yourself and 03 04 motor and youll be happy...
