It depends on you really, I wouldn't be satisfied forever with 350hp, but with a twin screw that 350 is gonna be FUN! Me personally, i plan on getting somewhere around 450-550rwhp in the long run so i am going with a novi2k kit from Tim, at around 4300 its nice to have the flexibility to do anything i want with it. Now for 600 less you can get something that limits you to 400hp but if you never plan on forging the internals of your engine than that will be MORE than enough.. How much money do you want to drop in the long run is the only real question.zkiller18 said:yeah price has alot to do with it.... i was looking at the saleen series IV but i dont think that it would give me the hp i was looking for. im also looking at the procharger. the 8 lbs procharger and the 6 lbs. KB would give me about the same hp (in theory) but i also want a roots type or twin screw. so im torn i dunno. the procharger is intercooled so i thought that it would be better on my engine in the long run. so any more information or suggestions you guys have would be greatly appreciated. thanx.
the stock block, sure you can get 20-30 more but at 400 your already pushing your luck.. Besides that, the rear end, transmission, without some serious money or very careful driving you will be replacing something every 2k miles at anything higherkirkyg said:What limits you to 400 hp?

I have a follow up question. Like zkiller18, i have a 2v - specifically a 98 GT with an AOD, which is currently completely stock. I have also been thinking about getting a supercharger with the KB 6 psi being on of the main ones (been told roots/screw are better than centrifugal for my application). The mustang is no longer a daily driver - i only put about 3000 miles/yr on it and its only got a total of 41000 miles on it. I now have some fun money to spend on the car, but ultimately the goal is to keep the car for 20 more years.
Some have told me that by getting a supercharger, any supercharger, even a low boost, I am basically signing myself up to damaging the rods/pistons and the transmission and I better have the money to replace them with stronger, aftermarket parts.
Is this true? I would love for the car to be more fun (i.e. faster), but not at the expense of its longevity or my wallet
Any advice from those more experienced than myself would be greatly appreciated!
To answer your question specificly, no, a supercharger will not damage longevity. It will if you do not get it tuned...or like they are saying if you romp on it all day everyday then it doesnt' matter if you have a blower or not your gonna blow something. If you have the power and want a fun car, get a supercharger, get a good tune from a trusted tuner (like tim from t&j's) and dont drive like an idiot all the time (only on weekends like meazerndt said:All,
