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.
