Default supercharger

this morning a 93 LX Mustang smoked me pretty bad, ruined my day and was wondering if adding a supercharger is the greatest power addition that i could do that is the easiest way to get my 99 coupe 6sp back to top notch. But, adding that would i also have to change my exhaust? and how do you post your own car pics?

Tower-- Check out the forced induction/nitrous section for info on superchargers. Probably the biggest bang for the buck today in the mod field. Changing exhaust not absolutely necessary, but will result in additional HP gains. Use the search function in left hand column for info on posting your car pics. Detailed info located there.

A bone stock MN-6 with no mods and a Procharger will get 475 to 485 rwhp.. Mustang's will be a problem of the past :yesnod: :yesnod: :seeya

I'm just learning about this now but apparently swapping the rear gears for a 4.10 setup is like adding 70 rwhp - and its allot cheaper than a charger!

The gears are good (390s) but the charger kicks. If money is note plentiful right now squeeze 100 to 150 HP wet system when needed. Go over to the C5 Forced Induction/Nitrous forum. Lots of people ready to help. :cheers:

If a 10 year old LX Mustang beat you it definately was not stock :crazy:, as far as the supercharger goes I have the Magnuson IMO it is the best, trouble free and user friendly supercharger available.
