Help Needed


Hey guys, i stumbled across this forum about 2 weeks ago and ive been reading you guys help out each other and newbies (like me) who are just getting started with mustangs, and i really appreciate how you all have given helpful advice and not just made fun of them (like ive seen on other forums). So here is my dilemma, i recently purchased a 2007 V6 coupe mustang, black with red leather interior. At the time i was debating on getting a used 2006 GT without the red leather interior upgrade package, or the brand new 07 with it (both were areound the same price). well i opted to get the brand new 07 and now that i have saved up some money im looking for a good supercharger or other engine upgrade to boost it closer or even beyond GT status. i dont know very much about things like that. Are there parts i should get before others or does it matter?? ill shut up now and let yall talk...any help is appreciated

if your looking at forced induction in a new car your engine is still real strong so your not gonna have to worry about forged internals. Honestly I would say find a nice speed shop and go tell them what you want in terms of safe power and they will just go over the car with you. I would say you'll need full bolt ons. A stage 2 or 3 procharger and a 8.8 rear end.

traction lock (posi) makes it so when u give er shit both tires will get even traction rather then having only one tire spin if it loses traction. the v6 rear end is an open differential ( non posi) so have you noticed only one tire spins say if you do a burn ought?

stage 2 is 11 psi (boost) intercooled and stage 3 is 19 I think not sure on that number it is also intercooled. A stage 2 is 4 grand installed. *.8 rear end probably 2.5k installed.

if it were me i would get the shelby proformance package for the v6, that will have you beating a gt no problem, no clue how much it costs, but i do think that you could just get the proformance package and not have to get the apperance package

im not aware of a shelby package for a V6...if there is one my dealer didnt tell me about it when i was ordering my car.

oh and how much extra horsepower would a stage 2 supercharger add to my car, i believe its around 215 or 220 stock

Will a Roushcharger fit on his car because then he might not have to void his warranty?
