    Talking Thinking About Supercharging

    Lots to choose from on the market, I’m concerned about how it will change driving the car, besides the obvious :-). Anyone have thoughts or comments?
    I have a 2019 PP2.

    Thinking About Supercharging

    Increased weight front end affecting balance / handling to some degree but are we racing road course for professional time and prize money?

    - Increased gas consumption ( on the loud peddle)
    -increased wear rear tire ( from a dig)
    - increased potential for speeding tickets

    I doubt adding boost will make your car the worse handling car you could imagine.

    So in other words I’m “pro boost”
    Especially if you feel u need more beef- but I’m biased( I drive a slo turd)

    Stick with a Vortech/Paxton style blower and with a good tune the car will drive like a dream for 10 years plus and the fuel consumption isn't that bad but be prepared to spend $14,000 - $16,000 for everything including installation, tuning and taxes.

    If you bought a PP II car because it's handling features are important to you, will likely be disappointed how much the super charger hurts the cars amazing balance.

    Yes ZR, this is my big worry. Now I’m rid of the club sport S tires, the car has an almost zen-like behaviour on the street.

    Thanks everyone for your input so far!

    Out of the box, PPII is flat out amazing.
    Come on out to our spring track day, may change your mind about need for more squeeze.

    I have a 2015 GT convertible with a Roush TVS 2300 slapped on. I track my car (road course, non competitive lapping days) a couple times of year and I didn't really notice a huge difference in handling, nor did the front end feel noticeably heavier or less nimble.

    I went with the Roush because it comes with a limited warranty from a qualified Ford dealer installer (assuming you retain the Roush tune). I also love how it looks under the hood. I have no complaints with the unit at all. I also didn't find that it really noticeably reduced fuel economy either, but then again, I just primarily cruise in the car.

    I personally feel that the pros outweigh the cons.

    only thing I can add is the extra wear on the front crank bearings.
