one more thing...how about that electric supercharger? I know its a ****, but my friend wants to give me one. Is it at least better then regular cold air intake, is it worth putting it in a car?!

michael is a great guy, i got my rear end from him a couple weeks ago. i would look in the classfied section on all the major v6 mustang sites, like mustangforums, 3.8mustang, and v6power. You can get a used s/c for arround $1500 if you look arround.
and how about those performance packages, are they any good? I found some engine kits on rpmoutlet.com and steeda.com I just dont know if they are worth getting them and if they really improve performance!

That's why I don't care for it. If I was building a dragster, then hell, of course I'd have it.
I just think it's a cheap way to get more power. A 13 year old who can read a book can install a nitrous system, where's the fun in that.
This is coming from a kid who's extensive mod list shows he knows what hes talking about!!!! You all better listen to him, he's Thightened his throttle cable!!!

It all depends on what company you are getting it from. Steeda, Super Six Motorsports, Delk Performance.... good stuff. RPM Outlet and some of the "cheaper" places aren't worth wasting your money on. Don't get me wrong, they have good prices, but they won't give you what they say they will at the top end. They play with the numbers for the sake of making the sale.

If that is Konor's old set up, you'll love it and it will be 100% complete as he said. he made 411/391 to the wheels on his 4.3L set up with that blower.
It is, and that T-Trim will be too much for the stock motor....
no it won't. given he uses the right pulley to avoid making too much boost the T-trim will have a cooler air charge at the same boost levels as the V2S and make more power because of it and allow for alittle better tuning. just like upgrading right off toe bat to a D1SC procharger. more power at less boost and the ability to run equal boost at lower charge temps.
damn good deal on that blower

Dude WTF hippo. What are you talking about ? BOOST is BOOST no matter how its inputed into the motor. THats a such idiotic statement.
Nitrous is not boost. Boost is when air is forced into the engine and the air in the intake manifold is no longer a vacuum.
Thank you i appreciate that. And how the hell do you not understand what i am saying..... Lets go slow for a second here. Jimmy Johns has 200 hp, Jimmy Johns buys a 100 Shot of nos, and when Jimmy Johns pushes that magic button, he has 300 hp. Now after the nos has gone away, Jimmy Johns extra 100 hp goes away. Now what im saying is, id rather pay the extra money and slap a supercharger on the car and not have that extra 100 ever go away.
