RE: supercharged?
an 04 V6 with an 11 psi procharger kit would need the following
39lb cobra injectors or aftermarket 42's, focus fuel pump,SCT big air MAF calibrated for the injectors and a custom burned chip from Justin at www.vmptuning.com
of course other mods should be done too like a good dual exhaust and beef up the rear with a detroit truetrac LSD,girdle,and 3.73's or 4.10's
all that will get from 280rwhp to 300rwhp and low 13's will be the norm
total cost about $6,000

You should be able to tell if there was an aftermarket CAI installed, exhaust, and you'll definitely know if the car was lowered. A v6 should come with a single exhaust and the stock air intake system.
As for the supercharger, it'd be more cost effective to put all that money into an older GT and blow that... although the 3.8L is a strong engine and can handle more than people think. Try asking some of the blown v6 guys and the guys in the boost/juice section-- they'd know the indepth stuff on the blowers.

RE: supercharged?
You need an intercooler for anything over 10psi...to cool the system much better.
BTW you do NOT need such large injectors for that 11psi kit from Procharger...30lbs would actually suffice...if you are pushing about 400rwhp then you need larger ones. I have 300rwhp+ and use 42lb injectors but thats bc I plan for HUGE upgrades later

RE: supercharged?
thanks for all the info guys. yes the car has duel exhaust but no cats or flows. and if my sig works the rest of the mods should be listed...but if not shes got a 4:10 rear end, 18" Cobra rims, a SAleen Body kit, Ram Air hood, 35% tint, CAI and ECU upgrade(not sure what all the past owner did to the ECU though) oh and shes a 04 manual but I think for the car to handle the 4:10 rear end wouldent she ahve to have a new clutch to handle the torque?
trying to figure out were to go to post pics of my car, sorry dont usually put big jpeg shots on forums but just recently took these and since some asked for them would like to put them up.
