Mach 1 Curious about a mach

[westgastang5.0Coyote]

I was leaning towards a 03/04 cobra but now i'm kinda getting partial to a mach. My only concern is if I want to eventually add a supercharger i would have to forge my bottom end. So mach owners tell me is it worth it to forge the bottom end? Considering how much it would cost and would it devalue the car?

Obviously adding forged internals is going to be beneficial but it's not necessary for most base level Superchargers. There's pleny of guys running 450hp to the tires with stock bottom ends. The Machs run really well with boost.

As far as the value of the car goes, if you're already modifying the car, forged pistons aren't going to hurt the value. I hope this helps.
