I have a completely stock 2001 mustang gt, nothing at all has been modified, i was wondering if this would be a nice supercharger the most IMPORTANT question is WILL MY ENGINE BLOW OR WILL I HAVE PROBLEMS IN THE FUTURE WITH MY CAR?

If the car is well maintained and the tune is right, you shouldn't have problems with your car. How many miles are on it?

That is just a high price for it...I got mine for 2700/shipped with an air/air intercooler as well....Just look around on Ebay...you can find a better deal...

if you have a 4.6 i wouldn't suggest it. our bottom ends aren't as strong as the 5.0 and you'll prolly end up up blowin a hole in your piston head and possibly throw a rod or something.

You obviously know nothing about forced induction cars so ssshhhhhhh


That is a good starter supercharger for a stock engine.

go to superchargersonline.com for a better price on that kit. Yes it will be just fine. I am running a vortech non intercooled kit at 6-7psi, dyno'd at 350rwhp and 355lbs of tq on a 95 degree day. Its a blast to get blown, GO FOR IT. but dont buy from american muscle or 50resto as there prices on superchargers is too high.

you need to do some research. 4.6s are safe up to around 425rwhp. Some have pushed it beyond that and gotten away with it.

owen02gt why would you not recommend him to get this kit , under 10 psi he wouldn`t be close to braking his bottom end , maybe 385 hp , so his bottom end would be just fine !
