I have an absolutely beautiful 1990 Mustang cobra clone. She has some bolt ons, heads,cam, 24lb injectors, intake and a few other items. I am looking for a power adder. NO NOS!. I'm thinking of a pro charger or turbo. Question what would you all recommend and is there anywhere in SE Michigan that would install it for me? Thanks in advance

I'd recommend the pro charger route for you. Going turbo has a lot more involved. I'm turbo but I'm also a mechanic by trade.

I'm a fan of the Vortech V3, but the pro charger is nice too.....just quite a bit more expensive and a much more involved instal.

V3 for the win. No oil lines or intercooler to mess with. Not sure where you are but Lido at Alternative Automotive is one of the best tuners in Michigan.

Tried calling him. They are very hard to get ahold of. I emailed them and waiting for a response now. I will keep everyone updated.

My recommendation is vortech. Reasonable cost. Changes boost with simple pulley/belt changes. Doesn't require intercooler or elaborate piping. Keeps all your stock accessories. Fits under stock hood. Turbos require too much fabrication that can't easily be undone. Will also be harder to troubleshoot down the road if something goes wrong, and you aren't intimately familiar with all the components.
