Supercharger in a stock '95?

Hmmm...

I'd have to say, mustang17, you do seem mighty down on blowers. You say you've never had one, well, you're right about me thinking you've judged them based on something your grandpa had on his car.

Benefits to blowers are, no significant loss of fuel economy when driving normally, no internal engine modifications, which makes the installation easy and inexpensive, huge power benefits, excellent drivablilty, and they are bolt on/bolt off parts that can be removed if you wish to sell the car as stock.

I don't know as I've seen a lot of problems on this board relating to blower problems from quality units that are pushing less than 10psi.

After reading tech on this board, researching, learning, and helping, I'm more convinced than ever that the blower route is the best route to go.

As far as the 19lb injectors, you can run them up to about 350hp before they are done. Any blower with more than 6psi boost should be combined with the 24lbers in my opinion. You can risk it, bump the fuel pressure and run 19's, but for the measly couple hundred bucks, why would you want to risk it?

Now the N/A tune route is nice too, it will help your blown car see even more potential, but now you double your expense and wind up with a tranny breaking, driveshaft bending, axle stipping monster. (Not that having that isn't cool in itself

, but other upgrades that must be made are very expensive.)
