supercharged?
hey guys, just recently baught my Mustang and not sure what all was done to it yet but got a decent list so far...trying to figure out if it is cost effective and wortth the effort to supercharge my V6 or not...really want that pull when I hit the accelorator (already got some but always looking for more) also not sure how much it would cost me to find out what all was done to this car...shes fast but no idea how fast and such...i know a dyno would give me a RWHP number but not a list of stuff done would they? anyway yes i know i probably asked some stupid questions but first car thats "mine" and want to do the best i can with it.

RE: supercharged?
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?
Yea dude, you'll know if your car was moded, also is your car a manual or an auto, and what year, 94-98 or 99-04. If its an auto, then man you don't know what fast is, even if its a manual you are still only falling par as far as speed goes. But yes a supercharger would be a great investment, just make sure you have dual exhaust, that's true duals. They will help your engine get rid of the excess air produced by a supercharger. A set of gears wouldn't be a bad idea either.
