Ok guys, I got one! 1991 LX 5.0 5 speed in black. Hatch and all bone stock with 112k. Got a saleen wing and has had the ponys painted black. I will swiftly yank those off and slip on some 17x9 chrome cobra R's however, I must ask this question first.........

I have the dough to spring for a new Supercharger but I am hesistant. The car is still strong and runs good but the supercharger is more than the car! lol.

Would just a little 100 shot of the good stuff be the same? I really dont want to get into heads, 800mm TB's Upper and lowers just yet. Just want to get the car lookin good and a little more go than stock and then later maybe add some more bolt ons.

This car is my Pre mid life crisis, drive only on days that I need to blow off steam. LOL

I have had 6 lx's one 85GT and an 84 SVO. Im gonna keep this one for a while.

What would you guys do?

Cobra R's are first, no matter what.

Thanks
CCCCC

I think you would be more satisfied with the supercharger over time. re-filling N20 gets old.

On the other hand it's far cheaper at first to go N20 and might be better for a car thats not drivin very much...PB

But will this stock motor with 112k hold it?
