I know of quite a few 1k+ whp supercharger builds, particularly on 5.0 Mustangs. It can be done, and a starter kit will be substantially less expensive than a TT setup, about 5-6k.

Hey Nick. I live in the Bx but I went to Maryland for the Z. Unfortunately there were only 15 6spd in the entire northeast when I purchased mine. Most dealers didn't have a manual or the color I wanted. Most dealers have automatics and Touring models. So I made a road trip. The dealership I went to is the "largest 370z dealer in the northeast". There were at least 20 Z's when I arrived. They gave me a price I was pleased with, and the rest is history.

I didn't realize superchargers made that much power. I'll keep my options open. We are all still waiting for someone to offer a supercharger. Fortunately I am very patient.

They don't make anywhere near that power on these cars. The mustangs have always made tons of power when modded like that, the 370z will never see power levels that high with a supercharger.

If you're looking for big power then manual is the only way to go unless your building a drag car and which in that case you'll just use a built auto.
