Hi, I wanted to see what everyone's recommendation was for the best supercharger for an 06 or 07 Mustang. Originally I got on the list for a 07 Shelby GT500 (number 19) but just recently learned from my dealer and several other local dealers that Ford has decided to limit production and they will only be receiving between 2 to 4 for 2007. Because of this I have decided to explore the option of getting a 06 or possibly 07 GT/CS convertible and having the dealer install a supercharger.
One dealer I spoke to said they mostly install Saleen superchargers (which does have a nice clean design) and are good for 400 - 435HP depending on other modifications. Another dealer I spoke to said they recommend Kenne Bell superchargers and they are far superior to the Saleens and provide more power for the dollar (over 400 rwhp as opposed to Saleens 400 hp at the crank). I am always looking to get the best bang for my buck but I also want a supercharger that is the most reliable and would work fine for daily driving. Does anyone know of any issues with either of these superchargers or have any better recommendations? I did briefly look at the Vortechs and Paxtons but from what I have read regarding Superchargers and Turbos I think I would prefer the feel of a Roots style to that of a centrifuge (More of the feel of a big block motor and no RPM dependant lag).
Thanks,
