to mod or not?

I'd say its completely up to you, what do you want the car for? How fast do you want to go? I'd say supercharge it, and turn it into a rice eater!

I like to go to the local car shows and I would like to able to still go on road trip with it but I would also love to go up the road burning tires through 3 three gears lol
Can I just put a supercharge on a stock engine!

The general consensus will be to mod it. I'd start with 3.73 gears, exhaust, heads, cam, and intake and a shifter.

You can just bolt a supercharger to a stock motor. Tons on people have done it and it makes a fun car forsure. If you're handy at all the vortech kit is a simple install. That being said most people will tell you to do heads, cam and intake first. My current mustang is a 94 Gt with a vortech s-trim on a stock cam and headed car with a ported cobra intake. Works well its just personal preference.

I'd say it depends on what you want to do with your Stang. Use it as a daily driver, street racer or as a Show and Shine Treasure. I use mine as a street race and show and shine exhibit.

That is exactly what I'm going to do with mine first!
Stock 88 LX with a few bolt ons.
1st- supercharger
2nd- lowering springs or beefed up tranny
3rd- interior swap (years down the road!) lol

Slight modifications were the best thing I did to my 05 S197. Good Street Racer.
