go with what youre comfortable wth.

I'f you're going to just buy another motor, might as well just buy a gt or a cobra. there are always "might as wells"

there is something way cooler about a boosted sixxer than can dust GT's, than just have a regular ass gt...

I've researched both superchargers and turbochargers and it can get rather pricey. 2-2500 bucks. For that, I can buy a low miles 5.0 or 4.6 and put it in myself. Transmission excluded. So what would be the better optiion in the forums opinion?

turbo > supercharger
both are about the same to install really, detonation well thats up to a few things, turbo's are a bit easier because your not putting strain on the crank.

lol, the article was very biased torwards turbochargers. Very good reading tho, learned stuff I didn't know already (alot). I love my car so selling it to come up with a GT or Cobra is out of the question. I am leaning a little bit more torwards a turbo now. When I think blow off valve I think of the Green Eclipse Paul Walker drove in F&F. Makes me cringe because the mustang is muscle, whether it be 5.0, 4.6, 3.8, or 2.3. I also saw some videos on youtube and I liked the sound and the kind of numbers it was putting up.
