I am planning on getting a kenne bell supercharger soon for my 98 mustang gt 5 speed with 85000 miles. I have full exhaust done, and a sct tuner already and was wondering if there should be any more prep work before i buy it. street drag radials are coming before the supercharger. would there be a problem with just using the tune that comes with kit? is should i worry about my motor having to high of miles? If this is the wrong place to post this sorry im new.

you are going to need a fuel pump, maf, and injectors as well. I would not run a canned tune with a blower. I would get it on a dyno asap.

AMmuslGT · February 11th, 2009, 09:19 PM

sorry can't help never had a supercharger but i can say that maybe if you buy a supercharger with low boost the high miles won't really effect it. as long as it runs good and nothing is wrong with it.

yeah what he said ^ lol

'96-'04 Mustang 4.6 2V 2.1L Supercharger

this is the website it pretty much comes with everything you need to do a direct bolt on, i was wondering if i should beef the rear end or anything else of that nature?

HMUSN · February 11th, 2009, 09:23 PM

That is your choice. will you see track time a lot?

AMmuslGT · February 11th, 2009, 09:24 PM

well if you have stock springs and shocks you'll def want stiffer ones. and maybe stronger control arms too. thats what i did to mine and it feels solid. though i dont have a super charger

lol

ive seen that kit, its pretty damn sick, if you are gonna keep non pi heads, i'd consider at least gettin them ported to flow better b4 u intall that blower... but thats just me... if u wanna get the most bang for your buck... damn at 9psi that thing is a monster, but i bet that those h ratings were on PI motors... which flow better than non pi heads.

about the rear end, do you have upgraded gears at all? cuz if u wanna get better acceleration you might wanna get a set of 3.73's or 4.10's

suspension is always a good upgrade, but not completely necessary for this, at least not yet haha

KBDRK98 · February 12th, 2009, 06:05 PM

Yea, Street DRs are a must..

But I wouldn't get the tune that comes with it..

I ordered my Kit without their tune, and went straight to a dyno shop and had it dyno tuned with sct.

I'm still running on my 4:10s right now, which is A little to much with how this power comes in. Don't get me wrong, I love how it pulls from stoplights.

But it just goes thru gears a tad fast. I'm not getting the full benefit from the boost.

I'm getting ready to up the #, So I am goin to be putting in 3:55s

Upgrading to 31 spline is always good. Specialy if your launching On DR ALOT!

MikeD05GT · February 12th, 2009, 06:32 PM

i thought they didnt make the kit of 96-98 anymore...

97GT4.6 · February 12th, 2009, 06:35 PM

I didn't think so either,but that's awesome that they do. You'll probably want lower control arms and sub frame connectors..

MikeD05GT · February 12th, 2009, 07:12 PM

yeah control arms and subframe connectors for sure...
