Hello,
I have the vehicle in the title.
Various sources rate it somewhere in the 315-330HP range.
I am the 2nd owner of this car. i got it with 878mi on it.
I am going to supercharge it in the spring. So I need ALOT of advice, if you would be so kind.
I have seen them ranging from $3500-$6000+. I could ( and would if I could ) send it back to Shelby for the GT/SC conversion. but, that is 12K+. and that is a bit to steep for me.
I have shopped them a bit but, i am a novice at exactly what would be the best for this car and my drive style.
I do not drive hard nor do i exceed 3500rpm very often. With that in mind it seems to me the paxton/novi centrifugal type would not be the type to look at since they take high RPMs to create boost...correct?
So roots/eaton/whipple styles i presume
from what ive seen and the little i know it seems that the edelbrock e-force and the saleen super shaker provide the most HP with the least boost.
i do not want a tremendous amount of stress on the engine under normal conditions. i want it to be there when i need it though.
i am not looking to go further ( heads, cams..etc.. ) i am just looking for something drivable that will kick in quickly but, not over work the engine daily....
am i asking to much? I am wide open to any brand ,make or model of device if it will accomplish what i wish.
so if you have any ideas i would greatly appreciate them!
