hi
my boss has a gt500 and hes selling his stock supercharger. now i know they run around 3-500 bucks which is very sweat if it works. will it fit on my car? alot of people have diff opinions on this subject some people say no bc they are two diff engines but its realy not a big deal, apparently roush makes a intake manifold that goes on my car and will fit the stock gt500 sc. anyone one have any thoughts or know if its true or if it will work ect ect. i dont wanna waist my money buying it if it wont work. thanks get back to me asap bc hes on a mission to sell it and i dnt wanna miss out.

The question isn't whether or not it will work. The question should be "What's your threshold for pain and expense?"

You can buy that swap manifold, then you need, fuel pumps, injectors, intercooler and hardware etc..... It's easier to just buy a kit already made for your car.

Tera-dittos on that! Get what is right for your car. 3500 is a good deal of the way there on a package already to go.

You could likely get by with a Kenebell BAP and a colder plug setup if you ran no morethan 10-12 psi but you would also need 39# injectors at minimum. In the end i am not so sure that it would be a direct swap. The GT500 is a 5.4 liter 32 valve engine if mind serves correctly and the intake runner configuration may not properly match up.

Do it right with the right kit. THat is my opinion after having tried to half A$$ (technical term) things in attempt to save 2 bucks over the years. Good luck.

Magnacharger kit was easy to install, started the first crank, and has run flawlessly for about 2-3 yrs. Experiment if you want, but no way but tried and true for me.

Not that it has the best potential for power out there, but the Roush M-90 based supercharger is down to $3900. With a tune, pulley, and intake they are good for about 480 hp at the crank. I have had good luck with mine so far.
