    If I order 2011 GT premium- what option to get and what can do I myself better?

    as far as blowers go,you can get 2 different supercharger packages through the dealer,one is for 550hp and the other is 625hp or around there.with the 550 hp you get the warranty,the other one you don't.i just heard about this offering through ford racing last week.
