Well, I don't have one yet, but I am going with Vortec or Procharger. From what I have heard, Paxton is behind the times in Supercharger technology. I am not sure if this is still true, but I'm not taking my chances. ATI (makers of the procharger) sent me this really nice package of info specifically for the thirdgen car. Try contacting both of them and get some more info.

Dont bother with PAxton.I emailed Dave Adams the president of Paxton,to see if they were gonn make the Novis for our year cars,he flat out said they werent popular enough.Oh well,You cant go wrong with either ATI or Vortech,go with your personal preference.Paxtons balldrives are a good unit when they stay together,but the design is way behind the times,that style is as old as the hills.They have made no effort to upgrade this model to newer technology,they just give all the new stuff to the Mustang guys and we get it after a couple of years.

I would say ATI procharger, but if you want a Paxton or Vortech- go for vortech.

Nice prices at: www.gothorsepower.com
