    How does an 05-09 handle a supercharger?

    So I can push a 5.0 to go from 435 to 700-800hp but less than a half a liter less and the limits are proportionally less? No arguing, and I really appreciate the info, but I definitely don't understand it. Even with the limitations, for the money, the 300hp that these cars give trumps...

    How does an 05-09 handle a supercharger?

    When putting a supercharger on a car, sometimes you have to look at other parts to support the upgrade... maybe a new clutch, trans, brakes, suspension, etc... When it comes to the earlier S197's...what considerations and parts are needed beyond the blower kit? Any known issues that make...

    Yeah I did hear that the tune ups were a pain in the ass. Plugs cracking in half would just add insult to injury there. But when it comes to the chain or the phasers....what are the long term consequences there? In my experience, once the chain gets messed up at all, you're looking at...

    Nope no plans for winter driving and a 2 car garage. If winter driving was a priority I'd be posting on an STI forum. Thanks -Emt1581

    Hmm...changing the battery screwed things up? Sounds like it might have been a coincidence. I've heard of that happening with other makes/models with things like trans fluid but never a change in battery (so long as it's the correct battery) causing those kinds of issues. Thanks for sharing...

    I've wanted a Mustang for a long time. However, finances have always been too tight to afford one thanks to a massive day care bill, at least for the past 5-6 years. The original plan was to buy a brand new 17-18 GT w/ Perf. Pack but that was based on several investments panning out and they...
