Default upgrade engine or super charger

i have a 95 v6 mustang and it only has 34k miles on it. The question is with my stock motor should you have new heads (ported),cams and better intake, or is it just fie to get a pro charger supercharger?

also what would be the best supercharger procharger or vortech for best power and price?

I'd get an S/C because of the rising gas prices, built V6s will get terrible gas millage, like worse than you'll want for a DD, at least with an S/C you will still retain near stock MPG as long as you're not spooling up every other red light.

I like Vortech, Procharger makes a little better unit, but for the price, it's just way too much IMO when you're getting nearly the same power levels as a Vortech PSI for PSI anyways.

procharger comes innercooled which is why i would prefer it

however being as you have a 95, your other option is you could find a tbird supercoupe with an eaton M90 on it which will go on easily, that will put you at 200 rwhp/300 rwft.lbs give or take

also regardless of how many miles are on it, the 89-96.5s 3.8sare known to eat headgaskets, so i would take the heads off and while your at it get them mildly ported with a mild cam and put the heads back on with 99+ MLS gaskets and new hardware, because you can do what ever you want to it, but it doesnt mean it will last

you will also need to do proper upgrades before hand, GT take off exhaust is a bare minimum, long tubes would be ideal, and i personally like the sound of an H pipe with force pro series mufflers, and your stock rear end wont hold that power, upgrade to either a set of 3.45 (if you do the SC swap) or a set of 3.73s (anything else) along with a detroit true trac limited slip
