I recently bought a 2005 Mustang GT and am looking to get some power upgrades on it. I've got about $10,000 to spend at the moment but I have no clue where to start. I get mixed opinions on getting a supercharger or turbo and whatnot and what parts to buy first. What should I do?

[itschristorres8]

forged internals or stroke it
build the rear
then turbo or twin turbo that beast

or s/c and nitrous

[trueballerisme]

sorry wuts buildin the rear?

[itschristorres8]

building the rear like for his case since he has a 8.8 already, get strong axles, and a 31 or 33tooth diff would make it strong for higher tq cars if not you'll just snap or brake and axle or something else

Can any of you come up with a detailed list of parts in the sequence I will should put them in? I don't know a whole lot about modding this car so any help I can get is great.

umm...
first i'd either stroke the motor
or get forged internals
then build up the rear
then a turbo
or s/c of your choice

[trueballerisme]

haha and so u know s/c or turbo is sumwhat alike and its completly wut u want cause people all have difference opinions on them

wow, a brand new mustang gt, and $10,000, you have way to much money! lol, but like itschristorres8 said, engine and internals, rear end, and then forced induction or N2O, also you can put a Steeda short throw shifter on it, that will help with the getting into gears faster!

like me?

i wouldnt say that a s/c and turbo are alike. they make power different ways, yea there power adders and increase power ALOT but i wouldnt say quite the same

but IMO
unless your SERIOUS about getting some serious 1/4 times like 9s and lower then i'd get a huge turbo and w/e else it takes to reach that
if your looking just for some good numbers like 11s or 10s i'd go with a s/c. its much better of the line until your up against those turbos that spool instantly

I have a Vortech centrifugal supercharger, and it puts out enough boost for me! only around 10lbs at 4100 rpm! but like he said, if you are looking for some SERIOUS power, go with a turbo, they spool out later, but you can REALLY feel it when it spools, because they work off your exhaust!
