Wow, I have never heard of supercharging a v6, so I am not entirely sure what gains it'll give you [as I don't know what your car's HP is stock and what mods you currently have done to it].
Will you be installing the supercharger yourself? And be prepared to pay a handsome toll for your gas/mpg. :p

Looks like a well put together kit.
Right now you're putting about 165 to 170 to the wheels. I'd expect after a good tune and around 8psi to be putting 240-250 at the wheels. Team the s/c up with ported upper and lower intakes, some head work and a free flowing exhaust and you can see alot closer to 300 at the wheels.

No kidding man, go on mustangforums.com and you will see every other V6 is supercharged! Also not a big mods here, but I am getting MAF sensor with this kit, and after LTs and H pipe...it's funny that i had them but had to sell to buy the s/c! I might also get some performance wires later! |

Time to get out of the cave  They been S/C and turboing 6's for quite awhile (there's a 6 running the 9's in 1/4 mile)
I agree wirh Brad 240 to 250 RWHP you might want to invest in a 8.8 rear and some suspension work (upper lower control arms,sub frame connector)

Nah you don't have to port and polish the heads or upper lower intake (both great ideals though, it never hurt and is a great investment)! I am making 305 to the wheels and all you need to do to reach that kind of numbers (or a faximly of) is cut the cats, LT headers, Diablo MAF extender, Upgraded Blue top injectors, 310 SVT fuel pump, and a really decent dyno tune!
I am not putting down your advice though, P&P the whole set up and a Cam and those numbers will make you really happy!

id supercharge anything that wasn't a 4 banger or rotary engine. altho not as powerful as a v8, the v6 has a decent amount of torque... or a sufficient amount i should say haha.

I don't think I could make close to 300 with Vortech! Even though it's a great s/c procharger is making more HPs...at least that's what I heard! |

You know, you do make one hell of a point! The Procharger does make more than the non intercooled Vortects....but still I see 280 no problem!
