Vortech Supercharger. BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE, I dont care if you have to drive the car stock for a year, do this first. PLEASE dont make the same mistake everyone else in the modding world does with mustangs.

LoL thats easier said then done, But if he just bought an 05 I'm sure the price alone is guna be kinda steap. Well there are the usual bolt on's and what have ya. 3.73 Gears or 4.10's thats what everyone says to get, and throttle bodys, shifters, intakes and pullies, (the latter two are secondary if at all)

yeah I supercharger would be sweet, but if you want to start small I'd go with the C&L Cold Air Intake and Diablo Predator or SCT tuner.....I hear people are picking up about 20rwhp with that combo.

Thats what Im saying though, I wish I hadnt started small, and driven the car stock for a year, THEN gotten the blower. Oh well, yes, like they said, the intake and tune packages are great power adders. A tune with the 05 cars is ABSOLUTELY MANDATORY when you change the intake and such.

I understand what your saying, but not everyone wants a supercharger for their car.....I agree that if your ultimate goal is to get a supercharger, then yes, it might be a good idea to save your money and not get the small stuff....But it all depends what your plan is for the car.

They just had an article on MM&FF, basically a Vortec on a completely stock, even exhaust resulted in 511rwhp and they said the injectors were starving for gas. SO Im sure with 60lb injectors, better fuel pump, x pipe and high flow mufflers it would even be much greater......on a stock 05 thats freakin awesome numbers.

a blower would be so sick or start porting everything and get power that way then get a supercharger later on
