Hey all,
I just purchased a new (to me) 2002 Mustang GT. The reason for this thread is, as the title says, this is a crash course for me with Superchargers, as i personally have no experience with them up until now. Here's what i know the car has, per the previous owners email.
Vortech SQ V2 Supercharger.
Intercooled
High performance fuel pump
High performance racing chip
K&N air-filter
Cooler spark plugs
3:73 rear end gears vice 3:27
Accufab oversized Plenum with 70mm throttle body
Magnaflow Magnapack Catback exhaust system ( 2 ½ “ pipes with 3 ½ ” chrome pipes)
So i want to run some gauges to see how much boost im running, and to keep a better eye on the engine specs when operating, but im not sure what ones i should focus on purchasing. I think im probably going to purchase the gauge cluster overlay so it'll only have 2 gauges. Any information as to what i should do to keep this thing running would be greatly appreciated(maintenance tips, etc.), as well as any information in regards to what upgrades i should look into to up boost or HP. Like, i just learned that underdrive pulleys are detrimental to boost when you have a supercharger.
Thanks in advance to anyone who helps!
Also, let me know if there is any more information you guys need.
