Mine has been cutom tuned with a "safe" 93 octane tune. I was using a canned tune but with a S/C a custom tune is a must. I was thinking of installing a 62mm throttle body but I am not sure how much it will benefit me.

 

Shame one dude had to go and ruin a poor, defenseless supercharged mustang by putting ricer-oni neon lights on the underside.

WTF!?!

may i suggest http://www.turbochargedpower.com/

 

Turbo for racing applications, twin screw for street use. I'm not really sure where this misinformation about centrifugals is coming from, but centris are not as powerful as an efficient twin screw, and I'm not sure why you would want an S/C in the first place if you are worried about controlling the power of your car. JMO though!

 

Vortech has two water boxes available for the 2005 Mustang GT. One is the smaller box that comes in their H.O kit. They also have an upgraded tank for racing applications. This optional larger tank mounts in the factory battery location (must move the battery to trunk). It has a large quick fill neck for ice. This larger tank is the one shown in the picture that was previously posted.

 

so the H.o kit has a water box along with the aftercooler unit itself?..If this is the case I have not seen that, but nice..

 

Good point, my centri is only putting out another 190rwhp over stock.........

 

right on weedo...us vortech/paxton people need to stick together :worship:

 

Yep, blanket statements like that always kill me. I've had both types of superchargers and turbos. They all have pros and cons!

 

turbo for racing applications? why?
Turbos are the best solution (most efficiant) why would it be for racing only

 

Im waiting for the Kenne Bell. Just got an e-mail from them saying it may still be a couple of months. Even though they have had articles about the 05 KB in all the magazines. Also saw this post
SVT Perfromance Hope its not much longer.
My son has a 1.7 KB kit on his 00GT (that I installed) and the low end torque is unreal. Every time I ride in it I know I gortta have one.
But the centrifugals and twin screws each have their positives and negatives just read up and decide what you like best.

 

Realdeal,
I'd be interested in your opinion of each type of supercharger (screw and centrifugal) and their pros and cons. I have a year to decide.....

 

yea we need more info, some people say centris are better for everyday use and others say tiwn screw are more reliable and less maintenance. i dont know to confusing.

 

think about how many cars are factory supercharged vs how many are factory turboed, turbos are the way to go for reliability and longevity (of coarse tuned correctly)

 

And also think about what kind of cars are factory TCed, and which ones are factory SCed. I got a V8, not a 4-cyl or 6-cyl sportcompact car... a supercharger is the only way to go for me.

I have no problem with you having a preference for turbos, but most of us don't share that preference. No matter how often you chime in on the "virtues" of turbos, it won't change my mind. I'd rather be blown...

Besides, I don't like the way a TC sounds... just my 2 cents.

 

It all depends on what you ultimate goals are. Here's two good articles from from MM&FF that compares all.Boost Bash Pt.1
Boost Bash Pt.2

 

Same here but 4 different emails.
I ended up calling them...three times now...and spoke to someone each time.

 

nice article everyone should read it

 

Yea it was a good read but can someone sum it all up what did they think was better? Which one was better for everyday drivabilty or racing? I dont know alot about superchargers so thats why im asking.
