Bought a new mustang..supercharger?

[pitbull12887 10+ year member]

I bought a 88 gt with a built 93 cobra motor...should dyno 300-350hp.... Im thinking about putting a supercharger on it and running 9-10 lbs. I think that will take it to about 500hp...

I found this for $1500....Is it a good deal and should i buy it?

Buy a new one. **** like that a warranty is a must. You can buy 9lb Vortechs for 2 grand.

That one is overpriced even if i comes with a tune.

Befoe you supercharge it, how built is the engine? If you have a higher compression ratio then you do not want to throw too much boost.

The dude im buying from didnt build the engine...He said the prwvious owner built it to be fast drag racing so im not sure on the compression.... Even a stock engine will hold 10lbs though correct?

Its research time buddy. Im sure there are alot of ford forums out there. Or even send an email to the tech guys at summit racing.

I just looked on ebay for reference as far as pricing goes and what my buddy just payed for one for his car. Even the used ones where way cheaper then 1600. Eaither way your gunna have to get a tune after the install.

Search that forum for more info they would know better then anyone on here. I know alot more about roots blowers i don't really wanna talk out my ass as far as setup goes.

I'll ask my buddy where he got his and try to get back to you.

I use to build and tune stangs all day everyday. They can handle 10psi, but I would highly recommend 8-9 psi tops. Can you find out what heads, intake (upper and lower), internals, and such. I will help if I can. Feel free to PM me with all mods.

Whatever you do, don't buy a powerdyne... that is the shittiest blower made.

You want a relatively low Compression ratio if you want to safely boost a motor.
