Supercharging a 99-04 GT

Correct. Mod motors are in serious need of help in the torque department and a centri with an auto is NOT going to be alot of fun to drive. Turbo should be the first choice, then a KB/Whipple. Has anyone suggested to you PM'n Brooks to see what he would charge you to build/install a cheap street kit for you? When I considered it for my 93 Cobra, I was VERY surprised at the quote he gave me and how reasonable the price was. Take Doug Hatton's vert for example, very basic cheap mods done to the car, stock block and the turbo setup and he has run high 10's.

That's how I regretted getting the p1sc on my '03 auto...after PM'ing him I was like..."ah shit".

A blower, like a n2o kit sounds cheap up front. Until you get done with EVERYTHING though - it really is not cheap. I remember his quote out the door was within' 100 dollars of what I ended up spending.

I'd go turbo just to get rid of the extra pulley and different belt.

So is the general consensus that turbo is the way to go w/ 4.6's? Sounds like the price is comparable but the owner labor may be higher. (I'm PERFECTLY fine with that....)

Price to price. What is the hierarchy? (Assuming stock engine.)
N20
Centri
Roots
Single Turbo?
Twin Turbo

I don't even count nitrous in the list to be honest. It's not always available, you have to refill tanks and so forth.

I THINK the order would be (if ya shop around and such)...

Centri/Single turbo
Roots/screw
Twins

on3performance turbo kits are going for 1899 and the suspension is around 700 plus a tune......every option will need this 500, so around 3k out the door for buying all new you got a nice turbo 2v. I made 410whp/480wtq on 8psi with the turbo. My vortech kit made 360hp/315tq.......torqueless wonder

i vote turbo, get the smaller .68 housing and it will spool up no problem.

**edit you will need at least 42# injectors (used $200) and a focus svt pump (used $40)
