um well, not for a mustang, but apparently there's one floating around thats been used on a probe, motorcycles, and prob some other low hp cars. its made by Eaton, i was told, it only takes about 22hp to run it... i have no clue what car it was specifically designed for originally.

theres plenty of 4 bangers that you can supercharge, but i am not aware of one for the 2.3 either. for one, the stock ecu (for dual plugs anyway) bites and there has either been no efforts to tune it or someone is keeping it a secret. the only way i could even think of to manage a supercharged 2.3 is a standalone (big $$), possibly converting to an la3 ecu from a turbo car, or if you have a dual plug, to put on a big mass air/injectors and hope it works. sure would be an interesting project though...

(of course it might be a bit easier if you went carbed, but there would still be a crapload of fabrication)

i dont think anybody has tried to tune it because of how weak the n/a blocks are, im guessing... maybe if they had forged internalslike the svo, then it might be a different story.
