Depends on what you wanna do with the car. What brand your buying. So on and so forth. Lack of information on posts lately is really annoying.

It probably is not a good idea, Kenny.

Random thoughts, assuming you're not a troll:

1) Budget anywhere from $5000-6500 for parts alone, if you want to do things properly. Maybe even more. And then budget $1k or more for ECUtek/tuning.

2) Reliability will decrease.

3) There's a risk of totally destroying the engine.

4) It will make it harder to sell the car down the line

5) Goodbye warranty

6) The superchargers available right now that work with an otherwise-stock engine will not give you the "OMG" feeling that you might expect.

7) The JRSC is the most track-proven SC for this car, but as a centrifugal SC, most of the noticeable power is in the top end. It's better suited for track use, where you spend the majority of the time between 5-7k rpm.

8) The Edelbrock and Harrop SCs are the new hotness. Unlike the JRSC, they'll make it feel like you have a bigger engine overall, but as they're newer they have less real-world testing behind them.

9) If you want to run E85, you'll need to budget for injectors and a fuel pump as well.

10) Your post makes it seem like you're young. I would not suggest installing a SC on your car if you are not 100% financially independent. Instead, save your money and put it into an IRA. The earlier, the better. (If you're not young, disregard.)

judging by this post, it is a very bad idea for you to install one

Hell with that I'd trade it for a Mustang thats already fast and doesn't need all that garbage to make it so. I'm already leaning toward trading for a GT next year. But it will be an auto as driving my stick in traffic is a pita most days

I highly recommend the v6 with the drop-top.
