Super charging my 2013 GT
Have a new 2013 GT I've been driving for a few months, it's automatic and I want to super charge it could anyone help recommend super chargers and parts to help my car handle it.... within a good price range. (I'm a senior in high school with some money but not all in the world to spend) I've looked into one roush super charger so far on American muscle

You have a lot of people on here recently that have installed their own (FromZto5 and Gabe(soon to be)) who I'm sure could lend some great advice. As well as a ton of other guys!

alot is going to depend on what your looking for in HP and $$$. think the Procharger and Vortech kits are alittle cheaper and alittle easier to install. Were as the screw or roots type little more $$$ and alittle more intial time. Both ways can make great power. Depending on what power level is your goal, will also help on what you'll need to beef up to handle the extra HP.

I would say procharge or vortech for now because power builds with the rpm's so its smoother. But theyre much louder all the time where as screw or roots types supercharger scream when under load thats it.
Personally i love the sound of a good whipple

I was looking for a Hp range around the high 500's maybe early six something that gives me a good boost up from the stock 420 but doesn't require me to spend a whole lot on other parts

The Vortech I was told just earlier today that it feels like a turbo, no boost below 4000 RPM.
This was a 50-yr old friend driving a '13 GT auto with the black Vortech kit, pushing 9psi for a max of 595 RWHP
But he was not impressed. HIS car is a 558 RWHP '08 GT500 (6-speed of course)
Today I got to drive a '12 Roush Stage 3 Phase 1 car, and similar thing, had to wait for the boost to build. This car dyno'd at 475 RWHP
My car dyno'd at 405 RWHP with no blower and doesn't feel much slower than that Roush.
I'm about to get a 9psi Whipple 2.3 kit installed on my car, a kit that according to my tuner will deliver full psi as soon as I give it gas.
I can't wait for that now ... I hate the waiting for power to build, although the Roush was smooth in its gradual nature. The owner says when the boost kicks in it tends to spin the rear tires.
To me that sounds like VTEC, yo. Lol.
I'd rather have the extra power all over the RPM range

I plan on installing a Roush R2300 675HP Supercharger - Phase 3 Kit with methanol injection. Hopefully getting 600RWHP. What's your opinion on this combo ?

I don't like methanol injection but it can and will save your motor to a certain extent. Just one more component to be concerned with. I would just trade her on a Shelby before I spent all that cash on a maxed out setup. That sounds like a $7k hit vs a few more $k on a car already at that hp. Just my opinion.

I Did too much work to my car to make it look the way I want it to look and spent 10k total, but money not an issue, so another 7k to give it 600RWHP is not a problem. Although the GT500 is a great car, I like the satisfaction of building my car and who know what modification I'd want do to a Shelby. Just in my opinion.

whether TVS/Roots or Whipple, they all will have instant power delivery as soon as the throttle is applied, just like ANY supercharger. it's what they all do (superchargers)
That's what the idea of a supercharger is. Turbos have to spool to make power, the rest are instant.
The three most popular choices (efficiency, rotors, etc.) are the Roush, the Ford Racing 2.3, and VMP TVS.
Of the three, the VMP TVS makes the most power, as it's already optimized by being ported, and such, and is complete, i.e. VMP will remote tune it to make the best power.
VMP is about to debut the 2nd generation TVS with a HUGE inlet to the rotors, so it's super efficient.
I'm waiting for that.

You'll make big power up top but it'll be a little lazy on the hit.
OP, what are your plans do you want big numbers? Or a street race king? And a senior in high school? That's a ton of car, best of luck.
