I took my Shelby over to the new Brothers Performace shop in Deland FL. last week and they tried very har dot talk me into a Magnuson(sp) SC system.
I am not at all familiar with these.
Any input?
Since you rarely tach up past 3500 rpm's a centrifugal is out of the question. If you are looking for bang for the buck I suggest the Edelbrock E-Force which uses the new TVS design. This sucker has great low end torque...stump pulling torque and the price is right. Just save ALL PARTS that come off of the car for originality.

Magnusson has been building good blowers for quite some time, but are best known for the GM applications (Camaros, GTO's, Firebirds, G8's, etc.). The Mustang kit is very good looking under the hood. It keeps the throttle body upfront for a shorter path from the CAI.
There really aren't any bad supercharger kits on the market.
With a TVS, you will still need a Kenne Bell Boost-A-Pump (just like the KB uses). You will also need a custom snout pulley to lower your boost so you don't blow up your engine.
As others stated, the KB is plug-n-play.
You can't go wrong with either.
And forget about that car being a collectors car. Mod it, drive it, flog it...it is a Mustang...not a limited edition one-off boss 429 from someones barn. There are plenty of them.
Shelby has built plenty of crap, too. Remember the Dodge Charger circa 1985? How about the Dodge Omni GLHS ,<--Yes, the S is for Shelby. You could not PAY ME to take one of those. And some other cars with a "CS" in the name from Chrysler that deserve nothing better than to be shredded by a car crusher.
If I do it right, my "limited edition ultra rare collectors edition Roush mustang" (lol) will have nary an original part on it when I'm done, save for the body kit and interior. MOD IT!!!!!!!
