Which supercharger is it? The v-1 or what? I think with some retubing, and v6 bracket it should fit.

with the right brackets and the right intake piping it should work...But it might splatter your internals...Dont know hwo well the stock V6 holds up to 10#'s...

I have heard of our stock internals handling about 10 pounds of boost, but still I wouldn't try it.

the internals will be changed....fuel pump,injectors, spark plugs, what else should change...I can get a good cam but cant install it...will be a bi tch to do without a engine stand......what main internals will hold 10lbs of boost....i dont plan on boosting higher then that...I would like to do like 8 but 10 is more then enough for me...I just want my car into the low 14s high 13s.....Im getting a GT rear end also...cuz my car needs it at the track...its doing 15.6 and 15.8 both at 89mph so I know the rear will help...and some tires with better tread that 1 spinning tire alot kills me....

yea get a 8.8" rear end with either some 3.73 or some 4.10 gears. It's all your preference, but 4.10 with the procharger might be a bit of a pain. why not just go ahead and get a stage 3 powerpack from www.supersixmotorsports.com so you can get a cam, build up your top end also. You get a cam of your choice with that as well. Your gonna wanna beef up your tranny probably. Do you have a 5 speed or an auto?

Im not worried about the Cam....I can get one for a good price from Crane Cams....its a 5 speed...and its a Vortech S-Trim not a Procharger....for gears I plan on 3.73s but that will come later...

Well building up your top end would be a good idea, for more power, and also your engine will breathe so much better. Good luck with the whole build up, and keep us posted with pics as well.

if your under 50k miles your stock internals with a good setup could hold the 10#'s after about 80K over 7 isn't recommended. If your beefing up the engine get it all you will regret doing it piece by piece.

actually... how long is the cam?? i can measure to see how much room you will have to remove the cam in car... cuz i am right at the front of the block with almost everything taken off... so you find a cam shaft length and ill give you the distance you have to play with..

aight you have roughly 18 inches... just a bit more then 18 acctually... so if the cam shaft is about that lenght then your good... plus getting to all that isn't that hard its just time consumming

yeah but setting the cam specs up into the car will be a pain in the ass i dont have the tools for that....unless the came just pops in and that it...last i heard theres more to it then that...the came will be custom made for my car....the SC will work I found out I just need the V6 bracket ,pulley, and intake piping.....and as for others I will not keep stock internals because its not the best way....I rather change stuff now then have to build a new engine later....any one know what 10lbs of boost will do for my car ? im at 196rwhp and 228rwtq the way my car is now according to a MustangDyne im sure the SC with from tuning and timing and a pair of shorty headers will put me at 100plus more HP

A. be smart...dont put in shit that'll hurt your car first then get the stuff to handle it...
like you want the s/c before an 8.8 rear?
not smart.

b. either you have not so good driving skills or your dyno times are WRONG
maybe if you change the RW part from the tq and hp to bhp and btq...you'd be right
