Best option for a supercharger in an '03 Mach 1?
#1
Hey guys,
I'm interested in putting a supercharger in my car. The two superchargers I see advertised the most is Vortech and Procharger. Any suggestions or experiences with either? I don't plan on taking my vehicle to the tracks much if ever; but I still want the power. Any suggestions are appreciated,

Dave

You'll probably see a lot of debate on different Mustang websites on the best supercharger. I would discuss it with your local tuner/mechanic and see what they recommend. Good luck with your choice.

Well, I searched for about a year before I bought mine. What I purchased was a 2.1 Intercooled Kenne Bell Twin Screw Supercharger. Fantastic install by my local Ford Dealer's Performance Group, Brown Bros. Ford in Vancouver, British Columbia. Here are a few pics:

...and Kenne Bell's website. Talk to Matt & tell 'im Larry from Vancouver sent ya! Confusedhy:

I've had the install in for about 2 years now with no problems...none! Excellent product...suggest to anyone.

I have zero knowledge or experience with superchargers however in my small way of thinking I would wonder why Carol Shelby has gone with the Whipple for the 2011 GT350.

In doing some small research this is some statements I came across.
HOPE THIS HELPS!

Opinions - ARE LIKE azzholes everyones got one!
Kenny Bell does not produce the whine that the Whipple does (at least the whine those on the outside of the car car hear). Some like the whine, others do not. Some also like the fact that Ford Racing is, well, part of Ford, so it seems natural to put that on the car, especially when it has been shown to be a great product. The good news is that you cannot make a "wrong" choice.
One of the things I liked about the KB was from where it gets its air supply. Low behind the front facia its as cold as you are going to get and that is important but, maybe, not to others.

Roger at Shelby Int. has the Kenne Bell and seems very pleased with it. How much h.p. are we seeing out of the Whipple and the K/B. The KB seems to have a little less h.p. than the Whipple but i don't think i would notice it if you are talking 15 or 20 hp. The K/B also seems to be a little cheaper so I might have a little extra for some more mods.

Whipple - Its a better kit plus its a ford racing product and comes with everything fuel pumps mafs nicer pully and more hp on average) I have helped/seen a ton of installs, to me the only choice was a Whipple... but as with any which is better, this one comes down to money and choice.

That's one of my favorite quips, I've been using that phrase as least since the 70's! Roflmao1

But you left the best part out; it should go like this:

Opinions Are Like Azzholes; Everyone Has One and They All Stink!
