Supercharger Advice (2014 Gt/cs)

Aviatrix · Dec 2, 2014

I am new to the site, so pardon my post if this has been discusssed ad nauseum elsewhere.

I have a 2014 GT/CS and I have been considering putting a supercharger in, but have several questions for the group:

1. Suggestions on the best kit to put on. I am in Denver and the altitude, I hear, can be an issue. I am sensitive to price, but I want to put a good kit on that is not going to disappoint down the road (pardon the pun). I have been looking at the Ford Racing unit, but would be happy for any discussion on this vs others (http://www.brothersperformance.com/2011-13-ford-mustang-gt-624hp-supercharged-polished.html)
2. Would you suggest modifying the exhaust and breaking systems at the same time? Anything else need to be touched?
3. I want to be able to put this on myself, but I am not a mechanic - just fairly handy. This is mostly because I like being hands on and I honestly wnt the bragging rights. It is, however, a bit intimidating to start tearing down a $40k investment with a project that I have never done before.

Thanks for any feedback or suggestions.

1. I installed a ProCharger on my daily driven 2011 5.0 and I'd do it again. It's a lot of fun!
2. Not necessary, but I upgraded both on mine!
3. I installed my ProCharger in one day, in my garage with hand tools.

What was your bump in hp with the ProCharger?

What sorts of modifications did you make to your Exhaust /Brakes?

The ProCharger puts you around 625rwhp with a stick. Previously I had stock headers and a UPR offroad x-pipe. Now I'm on ARH 1-7/8" headers, 3.5" offroad X-pipe, and 3" magnaflow cat-back. I have 14" Baer 6P brakes all the way around. It's a blast.

I've never done a supercharger (on a newer car), but I would think changing the brakes or exhaust would be unnecessary. The changes that I would consider would be suspension ie: stiffening the existing, tightening up the rear end. From what I heard and can tell with these Mustangs ('14 GT owner) is they are very front heavy and the rear as it is with the factory hardware could get really swirly especially with the addition of gains that could put 600hp to your rear wheels and maybe a short shifter to keep up - provided you are driving a stick.

I went with a Kenne Bell on my Mustang. In all honestly it's preference. There's ups and downs to all the different types of superchargers. I love the Kenne Bell I have installed, but it took me 3 days to install it by myself and you will have to do some cutting for their kit as it has a large tube that draws air away from the engine bay. Man is it fun when you slam on the gas. Don't expect your tires to last very long...
