Super charger worth the cost ?

[tbombz]

nt my mustang to be faster, louder, better looking, and have a better stereo system.

as far as faste goes, i was thinkiing of putting a super charger... but the thing is i dont know jack about cars im just going by what ive been told and the limited info i can find through google.

what do you guys think about this super charger = http://www.paxtonauto.com/product.php?id=104





for the rest of the upgrades im going to re paint it (same color), new tires and rims (going from 18's to 20's) with lower profile tires, puttin in two 12's in  my trunk (or maybe three 10's), and even though its got dual exhaust flow masters i think ill upgrade my exhuast so its a bit louder.

I think alex knows some shit about cars

[ToxicAvenger]

why do people buy a 20 grand car and then sink another 30 grand into it 


why not just buy a better car?

Perhaps he wants to customize the car to his liking.  Maybe he doesent have 50 grand to drop on a car up front.  Fuck, what happened to you.

there are two thing in life that i am actually good at

1) guns
2)cars, and motorcycles

i have built a shit ton of mustangs before and your goals are really simple

i would recommend either one of these

Ask Bench, and some others. But for what's it worth save you money. If want a faster car, it's better to save and buy one. Like a used E46 M3, or a new one, or a Lexus IS-F. Or save you money for a house or for school. If try to sell your car, you WILL NOT get the money that you put into it. Best thing to do is SAVE YOUR MONEY! I can't tell you how many ricers that are near me, that are broke, and live off of their girlfriends or parents. And they have SEVERE cred card debt. And when they try to sell the car, they have shit...because nobody wanta a tuner car..tuner cars are run into the ground.

Not a Stang fanatic (except for the 68-70), because they tend to have cheap interiors, are more loud than they are powerful, and the solid rear axle sucks over bumps and expansion joints...But the aftermarket has tons of things for the Stang...

Coincidently, most tuner guys are either skinny or fat, they have no money to work out. Check some comments from the editors of "Modified", they are always claiming to sacrifice something to put more on a car...Like not goin out with girlfriends, or buying clothes.

Bench what's your take on the current crop of liter bikes? And the current 600's?

i'm not really a car guy....for the $ spent on up grading a car...

i'd prolly Stable a horse and ride it on the weekends

That's why I said save his money. You soon have to start thing about diminishing returns. You've been around the Exotics and driven them, it's a lot diff than driving a modded Mustang or Supra...and when they say that they can beat, and do beat a Viper, other car, when asked, which would they rahter have, it's the car they say that they can beat.

I firmly believe one of the main reasons why our econoy is in the tank was because people didn't save. I used to see dudes just burning up their cred cars buying turbochargers and superchargers, and I almost fell into it, wanted to do the whole turbo thing with my Lexus IS300, then thought was too much, then the supercharger (Vortec), with is roughly 6K, that's 6K that I could have saved or invested or used to develop a invention. Hell, learn from the Jews and Asians, not from MTV, VH1 or BET, they will have you broke.

Save all that money for what? the market to fail or Bernie Madoff to steal it all? you have to find a balance between doing something you love and preparing for the future

A guy at my work was saving he died on his 50th birthday I shit you not , now what happens? love ones fight over his money and Uncle Same takes a nice cut? you can't live like there is no tomorrow but you can't save for ever while not living

You want torque get a stroker kit more cubes more torque

the new r1 is overrated, i have always hated the gsxr because its a top heavy piece of shit, its all about the Kawasaki, and the Honda's this year.

i rode the new r1, and i like the 08, and 07's more. the gsxr was as unimpressive as ever. the zx10 is good (i think the 04/05 models are the best). the Honda's are ugly as shit, but good luck beating them.

i liked pretty much all of the 600's except the gsxr.they were all great bikes but i would never buy one, i am just a liter bike guy.

bbk long tube headers, bbk x pipe, slp loud mouth exhaust. it will be plenty loud after this.

if you need torque, dig into the engine and go with full forged internals bore and stroke a little(and i mean a little) port the heads, grab some modular powerhouse cams, and upgrade your fuel system. crank the boost to about 15-18 lbs, and have fun. then when all the power is to much, get a new clutch new axles new driveshaft, new spider gears, new transmission, and you should be fine......oh then you will probably need better brakes to slow you down since you have a really fast car now, so all that shit needs to be upgraded.


but now that all your shit is going and stopping right, you have to stiffen the chassis or its going to twist and since all that power has given you traction problems you have to address it or you just spin your tires instead of going anywere, and the car will still be useless in the rain...................d o you see were i am going with this!!!

just get the blower and exhaust and leave it at that. if you want something fast build a race car, or buy a motorcycle.

the speed game is nothing but a money pit!!

[Brixtonbulldog]

Just be careful.  I have an 03 Mach 1 with exhaust, intake, tune, 4.10s, etc.  The only thing left is a supercharger but if not done right the car is ruined. 

I'd be looking at $8k parts and labor.  Worth the cost?  Maybe.  But if you're gonna do it make sure it's done right.

Shelby Mustang 2009..make it happen young one

[Lord Humungous]

I say if Detroit cant build it for you, do it yourself. Get yourself a Vortec or T Trim, or even a new paxton and kick some foreign iron ass. Look at the new Shelby 500. Its just brutal what a super charger can do on a fuel injected car!

[APE907]

Think you mean ZR1 not Z06 as ZR1 is the supercharged motor.

right typo ZR1 

[MichaelScottDM]

Gotta love this thread. I have had Mustangs my whole life. Just recently purchased a 2008 Shebly GT500. Paid under sticker for it, which is really rare. Like the guy above said. Modular Powerhouse is the shit. I have gone through them on a lot of the work I did to my 02 Mustang GT. They are top notch, customer service is second to none.

A roots style blower would be better in terms of bottom end torque, compared to that of a centrifugal.  I've got a Vortech S-Trim V.2 on my '03 Marauder and though it's got top end to beat hell, it doesn't have the bottom end punch of a roots style blower.  I've got 4.10 rear gears and a 3000 stall to make up for that though.

Spend $4K fro what? so you can do the speed limit with 200hp more?
