What kind of numbers are you looking to get? How much boost do you want to run? Anything done to the motor? You need some more details as your post is a little vague.

See I have an 2002 mustang gt with minor mods like:cai,gears,short shifter ,upper intake plenum, throttle body, sct tuner,bassani x pipe hi flows and mac cat back and the car has 73000 miles on it I feel like there's no point in supercharging it, but then again if I had the money maybe it would be different

Run the car through a compression test. If all is well, supercharging should be no problem.

 

[BadA55f0Xxx]

I agree with stangerang if compression is still good go for it

 

[Double"O"]

it's worth adding FI to any car!!!

but yeah...do a compression and leakdown test and if all is well proceed!

Do a leak down and if it comes out good slap a procharger on that thing

ima supercharge my 01 mustang gt with a kenne bell and it has just a lil under 110k, and its an auto

thnx a lot guys..yea procharger is wat i was goin for..how much power estimate do u guys think im gonna have after the blower..?

 

[SonicBoom]

i donno with mileage that high if its a good idea. . i would rebuild the engine first with stonger internals then make it happen

If the leakdown/compression test is good, I wouldn't hesitate to throw a procharger on it. With that being said, for the same $$ you could build your motor, then you could save up for the procharger and do it later. I would say it all depends on how long you plan on keeping your car.

+1, if you don't plan on getting rid of it too soon, first build it up so it can handle some more boost (not to mention even more power) Then S/C it.
