just got 08..... need help
ok im stuck on what to do..... im thinking of doing LG LT's... borla exhaust, vararam and dyno tune which should put down about 430+rwhp and then a little later do heads and cam on it which then should put down about 530+.... and my other option is to do the procharger kit seeing how its only 4k more then doing headers intake exhaust..... what should i do?

its a 7 year 100k mille warranty.... and trust me i am concerned about it thats why if i start with headers intake and exhaust which usually wont void the warranty im hoping it will have enough power to keep me happy... which i think andything 420+rwhp will keep me very happy.... so we will just have to see

There's no "lag" with a supercharger, but the power gains are mostly in the high rpm range.
I had two superchargers and three engines in my 1998 Mustang GT, and I would strongly hesitate to go FI again. Even a well installed, well tuned one can cause problems and go south in a hurry.
