hi all new member here, i was wondering if anybody has any experience with supercharging(six cylinder)ie pros and cons ,does anything else have to be done to the car (gearbox, driveline,brakes, etc). i was looking at the capa supercharger for example,or would i be better of going for a stage 4 or 5 kit from jim mock motorsport,or would both be a possibility and still use the car as a daily driver.what im after is the most power i can get out of one of these engines without sacrificing drivability.money is of no concern ive got loads of it.

If you do it sensibly, spercharging your 6 should not affect reliability too much, and as long as you don't drive it like you stole it, it should last a while too. Oh, and make sure you get the car tuned too - AU edit should help out in that regard. For some opinions from those that have been down this route, try PMing Falkeen and Turbo_Nick - both have had supercharged AU 6s.

Racecraft is in the process of supercharging his AU I6.
Talk to him about it.

Snort Performance has a kit out now .... and for $4300 .. yuo get everything included in it ... and I think it's a Vortech blower as well ... but can opt for others too.
There is a thread on www.fordmods.com about it ... and I think there is a group buy going at the moment too ... so it might save you more. AFAIK the Snort kit is identical to the CAPA kit too ... CAPA love to charge a lot more though.

The snort kit is just that...a kit. You need to put it together yourself.

Same with the CAPA kit ... but that's around the $6,000 mark ... and you still have to put it in yourself .... or if you get them to do it ... they will charge you another $6,000 knowing them.
