What's up everybody. I want to look into extracting more power out of our weak 1998 Mustang GT. At this time I'm considering supercharging it, but that could change depending on my mood.

Would anyone like to comment on which superchargers would work best on my 1998? I understand how superchargers work, and the different types are available (Screw vs. Centrifugal, etc.) But I'd like to get more information for Chargers for mustangs and more so 4.6Ls. Also, are there any online resource that go into more details about prepping the car for a supercharger, like what parts to get, things to look at, etc?

If anyone can point me in a direction I'd appreciate it. I haven't been able to find much info about supercharging a Non-PI 4.6L Stang. TIA

Right now, I'm leaning towards the Vortech.

i'd recommend either shooting a line in the "power adder" forum of stangnet, or getting involved with the guys over at www.stangpro.com or www.modularpowerhouse.com

knowledgable people, everyone loves MPH, and Stangpro is very knowledgable and capable, just newer to the boards.

that would be the best place to get information spacifically for supercharging, from the people that do it.

ive got a centrifugal old paxton 2000 on my 96 non-pi, its not too bad, jumps the power up a bit but if your doing a blower you should really look into forged internals and different heads... thats my next step (i bought the car with the blower on it)

I recommend modularpowerhouse also, but check into their twin turbo kit. More efficient and more power/boost than either roots or centri s/c.

I like the Eaton based AED set up on my Cougar (same engine as your Mustang). Unfortunately, unless you're able to find one used, you'll never see another....as AED has since closed their doors.

If I were on a budget, I'd go with either a Novi 1000 or S-Trim set-up on the street....and if I had more money than that to throw around, I'd go with a KB set-up.

Thanks for the replies guys. I will definately check out those two other sites. I'd love to go with a roots or twin screw style blower, but they are a little harder to find or a bit more then I'd like to pay for one. (Can't justify a $5K blower on a $6K car. Plus the rest of the extras to go with it. lol)

A turbo setup definately is not out of the question yet.

I missed the power adder, please move as seen fit.
