Turbo vs. Supercharger
Sup guys, I'm gonna be purchasing an 06 black on black GT 5-speed upon getting outa basic (usmc). Kinda treating myself to a pat on the back buy buying/modding a new car. Thing is this, upon purchasing and strapping on the typical mods (forged rods, pistons, full exhaust, porting the heads, etc.) I want to aspirate the motor via turbo or sc. Problem is I can't decide which. This car is only going to be a daily driver for a year or so driving me to and from the police academy. After that it's pretty much a weekend car. If I went w/ a turbo I was thinking of going w/ HP Performance & their 76mm turbo system allowing myself plenty of room for potential hp gains. If a sc was decided I'd probably go w/ a Stage II system by Procharger. Figured I'd start doing my homework now so I'm not sitting around with my thumb up my ass wondering what I'm gonna do next to the car. Anyway, any ideas?

My vote is for the ProCharger. 
Their kits are designed to produce safe horsepower with the stock internals. I'd get that and an exhaust and be done with it for a daily driver.
I don't know about you, but for me, 11 second quarter mile times make for a fun street car.

The HO Intercooled ProCharger system for ‘05-‘07 3V Mustang GT’s produces a 70-75% power gain on stock motors running pump gas, with 10 psi of intercooled boost. This means stock motors typically produce 460+ RWHP, and are able to run well into the 11‘s with their standard 3,800 lb loaded weight

The 06 GT won't be "brand new" by any means, just relatively low miles. Thing with buying a 6 is I still want the GT block & heads. To buy a new 6 only to turn around and buy GT parts (i.e. crank, block, heads, etc.) will only force me to spend pocket cash as opposed to just having it financed. Not to mention the price would basically equal out in the end.

this is the way to go...you could get close to 500 hp doing this. The 3V respond well to mods.

In terms of safe hp there is a 98 Cobra runnin' a HP Performance Stage III Twinturbo kit with twin 66mm turbos using a stock block/crank & ported stock heads. Guy is punchin' 900 rwhp / 744 rwtq. Not saying I'm more partial to the turbo kit than the sc kit. Just pointin' out what it's capable of. Bear in mind the car is only going to be a daily driver for a year being I get my squad car after the first year in the department.

Depends on your power goals. If big power is you goal and you would like to change your power setting at the push of a button. Then turbo all the way. If your goals power wise are lower. The some type of blower will work. The procharger(Centri blower) will be easier then a kennybell(twin screw) on a stock motor. A turbo is the easiest on the motor though. Plus you can pick up some MPG on the highway if you drive easy.
