The stability of a supercharger for increased power with little concern of bottom-end engine rebuilding....well....here is a little snippit from Kenne Bell on the differences in the SCs and their boost scales...

vacooley said:I agree that V6 owners should mod as much as they want... have fun with your ride.
However, this constant "lighter and more agile" discussion just doesn't make much sense.
Ford Specs:
V6 Coupe Deluxe 3223 lbs
V6 Coupe Premium 3371 lbs
GT Coupe Deluxe 3487 lbs
GT Coupe Premium 3506 lbs
200 lbs is just not that much.... about 6 percent difference.
NJstangpilot said:The weights you quote indicate a 150 to 200 lb difference. While this isn't a huge amount of weight, it certianly isn't insignificant. 175 lbs is like having an extra, fairly large person riding along all the time. Consider that racers will spend several hundred dollars (or more) on a carbon fiber hood to shave 50 lbs (or less) from their car. Or, that they will drill holes in the pedals to shave an ounce or two.
What's even more significant is that most of this extra weight is probably in the front, which makes the weight distribution even worse. The 175 lb discrepancy may only account for a 0.02 g skidpad difference (say 0.91 vrs 0.89) or 1 mph extra in the slalom ... but ... it's still Better.
I get the feeling that there are some GT owners who like to think that the GT is better *in every way* than the V6. I'm sorry if they feel threatened, but that just isn't so.
A GT will always be much quicker and faster than the V6.
A GT will always stop quicker than the V6.
A GT even looks better than the V6.
But, the V6 can (and will) handle better when similarly configured. Plus, with the $5K you save, you can get 255/45's on lightweight 18" wheels, a complete H&R or Eibach suspension package (springs, matched shocks/struts, F/R sway bars, CC plates, bumpsteer kit) all installed and aligned for 3.5K and turn circles around a stock GT (w/ 1.5K left for engine mods).

Thought this would get some of you V6'ers all fired up ..
Thats right off the Procharger website ...
So it's just a matter of time !!
MSP said:You have saved my life!! Thank you!! Hope has overwhelmed me!!
Would have been nice to have a direct link.. But at any rate, my life has some type of hope left, without having to buy a $40,000 Cobra.. Thanks man.. This is the best news I have seen here in a long time brother!! Let me buy you a beer!!
Dude, a 50% increase will put us at 315HP!! I'm in Jimp!! In my case maybe 350HP because of the XPIPE.. LOL!! Who knows.. We'll see!!Jimp said:http://www.procharger.com/pdf/appGuide.pdf
Looks like the previous year's V6 systems go for around $3800-4000. Not bad. And they claim a 50% power boost. Also not bad. Things are looking up for the V6s.
Chris_NY said:I have a friend who is pretty into these cars . .. he has like 3 Mustangs himself .. anyways .. what I am trying to say is ...
He seems to be pretty sure these cars are good for mid 300's he feels 400 may even be in reach ..
I think if you keep it realistic and understand that your never gonna safely put that 525 you mentioned in the GT to the wheels then you will be pleased.
What I mean is keep your goals realistic and youll have fun. 350/400HP is more then any of us need anyways driving on the streets. Anything more should probably be saved for the track IMO.
