Supercharger Decision time
Opinions please..
Pro charger stage II inter cooled supercharger
Or...
X-charger Xtreme Supercharger Kit
This would be for my '05 4.0 V6 w/ Pypes shorty headers and Magnaflow Duel Catback exhaust.

A lot will have to due with your budget. My vote is for an inter-cooled top mounted kit of some kind. The Vortec is great, but the kit takes up a lot of the space in the engine bay and just makes everything look cramped, in my opinion.

Hell, now that I go back and read again, I see. Sorry. Still, based on your budget, that are a lot to choose from...

But it won't be a V8 mustang. Won't have that rumble. Won't have that great torque. I hate to insult the sixers. If the reason you own one is because of insurance reasons, I understand. Go ahead and supercharge it. Usually age/insurance premiums have a lot to do with buying a sixer. If this is not the case then there is no reason to spend that much money boosting a Sixer. Just get a V8 stang instead.

And even if you could spring for the GT, insurance premium on a V6 compared to a V8 mustang for a young man is ridiculous.

Yes, But I was 25 at the time, so it wasn't that bad. I'm 32 now and I only pay about $30 for full coverage on my '09 and even less that that for my daily driver F-150. Of course, I've never had a speeding ticket or any other blemish in my entire history of driving, so that probably counts for something.

However, if the SC kit isn't going to put you at the power level that you ultimately want, then trading up to a GT might very well be the best option for you.
