As for how much more hp and torque it's this; if your car is stock with a supercharger it's likely to gain 50-60%. Twin turbo can get your car up to 500 which is more than double your power output stock. Only issues is the stock engine can't handle that much power and you'll need to build your car up for it. With a single turbo I know you can get 300-400 probably more depending on boost and size of the turbo. I would only really recommend this route if you are planing on building up your car more than bolt ons. Hopefully someone who has turbo'd a six banger posts as my knowledge of using a turbo with this year v6 is limited at best.

Its good for more then that, id say 350 to 400 rwhp. These are very good, strong motors, just hard to get a lot of power out of them.

I just saw a video of a stock bottom end 3.8TT run 11s so they can handle it.

Over on v6power.net, there's numerous people getting 500-600 hp out of a 3.8 based motor. Granted they are stroked to 4.3 with power adder, but you get the idea.

A stroked 4.3 most likely has other things like forged internals. That's what most people do when they have it bored and stroked. All the parts they put back in are forged that's hardly a stock engine. Forged internals are your friend. :D but you won't need them till your past your limit. That won't happen with just a supercharger so enjoy!

Yea, I figured that went without saying. Still a 3.8 block. You would do the same for any
V8 or bigger making the same power.

If you go the FI route go with blower for sure, half the cost, the power is just as good(if your not going for 1000hp), and that sweet wine ;)

Could I get a link to a good blower?? It'd be much appriciated!

There's not going to be a price difference between a GT or V6 S/C. They still utilize the same components. And 4300 sounds about right for a procharger. Vortech would a little cheaper more then likely.

As for finding one for 1000, the only way you would spend that would be to buy it used.

Would it be safe to buy one used or should I get a new one. I'm not rich what so ever but I have a decent job and am some what able to save for it. This is my first Mustang and I f***ing love it, and am willing to save my money to supercharge it.
