With all the left over money that I plan to have after this paint stuff gets out of the way I would like to put my money back into my car. It is only fair to it. what I was wondering is does anyone know where I can go to get a supercharger installed? if someone could help me out that would be great.
BTW: supercharger of choice?
Procharger
Vortec
Paxton

Ive installed several Super Chargers on Mod Motors;) My suggestion to the power adder idea is a Turbo, you make more power. You dont need a exhaust because you get it with the Turbo System, you dont need to ever port your heads and the best part of all, I have connections with a Turbo company. I believe the base Turbo Kit with 7lbs boost made 450RWHP 490FTTQ.
Beware- Adding either a Turbo or Supercharger is not a simple bolt on. You will need a fuel pump, injectors, Mass air meter and a chip or tune which can add a extra $1000-$1500 on top of the kit you decide.

so if I got something like that could I expect to get some help from group members to help me put it in? I would love to do something like that and if I have got the guys who have the know how helping me do it then it would be no problem.
P.S. can I get a blow off valve, cuase that would be fricken awesome

Don't know nuthin about turbos, but can turn a wrench. I'll help, if for no other reason than to see an 01 beat the Mach Princess.

I'd help! We could just make a group meet out of it.

My dad tells me that there is no way he will let me put that stuff in. so what that means is give me a little longer and he will let me do the mods that I want. He thinks it will depreciate the value whatever

Depends on if you plan on selling it any time soon. If not then its not going to matter. As long as you can figure out how to take it off youself after putting it in you can always take it off and convert it back to stock to sell it. It might be harder to sell to someone not looking for a turboed Mustang, but if someone is looking for a modded mustang it will be worth more to them than a regular cobra.

It would be more a relaiblity issue than it being fast with some people.

Not to sound bad BRIAN but your dad sure is nice letting you drive his 2 tone cobra around all the time. My old man would have given me a black eye and told me to drive that wherever i wanted, he calls that tough love, I call it a headache.:(

I agree that my father is great that he bought this car for me. he just always pretends liek he is not into the idea of me driving fast even though he drove a 409 and used to be in a bracket racing league when he was 18. He knows that I can drive he just doesnt want to admit it. When I talk about more horsepower it just reminds him of himself and hates it. Oh well he still bought me a screamin car and lets me drive it as much as my mother hates it

Saw a Red 01 Cobra running 8lbs of boost (Vortech SQ)at Rock Falls Today. He was running Mid 13s at a very impressive 110-112 MPH on street rubber.

I only saw him at the line once and he was babying it in 1st and 2nd, I assume that it wasnt until 3rd that he was going all out.

Sorry guys I have been away at orientation, to tell you the truth I have no idea the build number I would have to look, however that really is something that I should find out
