I have a 2000 3.8l mustang and was wondering if u had to have engine management to put on a supercharger from a ford thunderbird supercoup.

 

putting that supercharger on your car is very expensive and time consuming and you would need to fab up an intake to make it work unless you do a head swap to the old single port(stupid imo). just buy a vortech or PROCHARGER!!!

 

Well supercharger is a way better route to go then NOS, the use of NOS too much burns out you piston rings, Beats up youre bottom end bearings, supercharger is tha best deal in the long run, Hey it cost more now, Save $2800 new engine bill

 

supercharger is not better. power is power. actually with nitrous it's probably safer because it cools and it's not always on and it doesnt cause crank stress (well technically...i'm talking a sc making x amount of hp compared to a x shot, the sc will be having the stress of x hp plus the stress from driving the pully)

 

 

is that saying you agree or you just accidentally posted with no reply to me?

 

Well I would still say a super charger is the best way to go for "dependability". N20 is quick and some what inexpensive to get started, but will hurt you in the pocket later. The nice thing is you have the choice "not" to refill your bottle if you do not want to. But N20 does scortch your cylinders.
I like a nice inner cooled super charger. It doesn't have to be anything outrages if you don't want. But it rolls on very smooth from bottom to top. When you see guys that say they're running 15 psi, they have the internals to handle it or they're full of crap. A nice 6 tp 8 psi boost on a 2.3 or 3.8 is awsome in my opinion. Then if you want more, you build your motor more.
