Welp....... need a supercharger

I got my *** handed to me by a new vette south bound on 81 penn@ around 140mph....not by much but he was slowly walking by and we were laughing at each other. But the big let down was a s/c'ed mustang who walked by me at 130 so easy that I've decided to blow some money on the new car. Man that exaust was loud going by my passenger door hahha. That dude smoked my ***!!

Contact me if you are interested in turbocharging that car. A set of K-26 intercooled and you won't have anything to worry about... I'm just about ready to offer the manifold system up for sale.

You were on the wrong battlefield. Find a decent twisty road, and the Mustang is history. The Vett maybe might stay with you. Depends on your limits really.

Jeff you need a different sort of tool for those procedures. In my case, it's called "S4".

If you want to supercharge that particular car, call Quick Carl...

http://www.928motorsports.com/

It's pretty much the only place that will sell you a complete kit with instructions, etc...

If you want turbos, or NOS, or a twinscrew, you won't be getting a kit,
so you'll have to source parts and tuning yourself...

Yes I agree. But an '83 will get eaten and spat out. Even a supercharged one.

That is to be argued, Tony. Last saturday on 50 coming home from Ocean city, MD., I handed a cobra his due not once but three times. All three were 65 to 110 with reluctant throttle-lift. I would have preferred more spirited runs, but fear of getting jacked at those speeds by the state boys down there was enough deterrent- at least for me as the redneck in the cobra did'nt let off till well beyond that. I have a strong running 87 5spd. very well tuned, with chips, test pipe, and rmb. It hits 5.20's on the g-tech ss pro 0-60. Now a heavily modded Cobra?.......

Rt-50 on the Eastern Shore is about the only place i dont speed. They really do make there quotas off the beach goers. And you can count on them being there too.
