Funny it seems like most would do a H/C/I over the Supercharger. Me I would do just the opposite.
They just had a article on this very subject. In 5.0 or MM&FF I will try to find it. They put a Vortech on a stock engine and dynoed it then they took it off and did the H/C/I and dynoed it, then put the Vortech back on tested it again.
If I remember right the Vortech made better overall power. Stock drivability and gas mileage when cruising. When you are cruising the Vortech is just freewheeling because the bypass valve is open and no boost. No loss of bottom end torque which normally happens with a larger camshaft. And bolt it on in a weekend and if you sell the car just take it off and get some money back if you want. The low boost kits don't take alot of tuning they are pretty safe with the FMU that is recommended. I would still get it dynoed and check the A/F .
Plus the sound of one (I like the noisy ones) is a big plus for me. Also every time you open the hood!
I have owned Vortech, Procharger, and Kenne Bell supercharged Mustangs and would do this first. Once you have boost you get addicted to it!
