(the last part is my opinion btw)

Wrong, I'm pretty sure a turbo setup is going to put down better power numbers and torque numbers than any s/c made for the v6. The only exception to this would be a(an) m112/KB and that might make more torque off the line but eventually the turbo (tq wise) will catch up

the turbo will put down better numbers than the s/c but when you are doing normal every day driving you wont reach the higher rpms making the s/c a better option. when driving daily you will stay in the low rpms and thats where the roots/twin screws really shine

im new in this world of mustangs

.i just have extra money to spend and dont know what to buy.i think i will get that supercharger.any other suggestions.

Ninjawafers! · June 13th, 2007, 12:51 PM

well the question is how much do you have to spend? and how much power are you planning to have? things like that are a big issue.. especially when you get into swapping internals, building up your tranny and rear end... for every big power mod there is supporting mods also... dont expect to put a s/c or a turbo on and have a completely bad ass ride.. you would need to get a t-lok and other things as well.

itschristorres8 · June 13th, 2007, 12:57 PM

get the s/c....its easier to have tuned. and install and makes plenty power.
and is not AS complicated as turbo.

either way you'll be pleased with the power

Ninjawafers! · June 13th, 2007, 12:58 PM

i still want a roots/twin screw s/c lol... couldnt you just picture a KB Big Bore 2.8 S/c sittin on top of a 3.8? hahaha

personally in my experience if you have an AUTO, Go TURBO... no question... think about it, the engine never comes out of gear, turbo stays spooled, power goes all the way down the 1/4 mile...... with a manual you have to take your foot off the gas, shift and then back on the gas, the turbo will have to re-spool..... on the auto it just keeps going...

proven numbers actually that auto turbo cars are faster in the 1/4 than manual turbo cars....

what would this mean to me? i have an auto, i'm going turbo, if i have a manual i'm going SC.. no spool required for the SC, instant on power...

just my .02
