I bought a Super Charger for my fully loaded 2013 GT. When I got it, It said, "It was not reccomended for an auto-trans". I should have paid less and had a better Trans. I paid a 15% re-stocking fee.(Super Chargers aren't cheap)
I also bought a BBK 90MM Throttle body which is worthless to me without an forced air induction. I ended up putting a Airaid CAI with a Bama tune on the chip, a 85 mm BBK throttle body and SLP Cat back Pipes. I have done work for DR. Gas for the last 14 years, He owes me some X-pipes. My GT runs like a "Raped Ape".

The Factory Warranty was voided 7 days after purchase, I wanted a GT capable of taking any Cobra. My dream was crushed because of a Tranny.

I did not re-stock the Throttle Body and its for sell. It will fit any GT or Cobra 2011-2013. I'm willing to take a $150.00 loss. It will add 20 HP to a forced air induction. $400.00 and its yours. (I'll pay shipping)

Another shameless plug for my mistakes.







LOL, my mistake could be your gain!

BTW, I'll put this stang back to stock if I have to deal with the warranty.

LOL, 7 months, 4,000 miles. I don't have to worry.

Which supercharger did you get?  Any reasons why?  From whom did you buy?  American Muscle?

I've seen new blown 5.0s with automatics at the track with my own two eyes.

You guessed it, I went with their advice. It was the Ford Supercharger. I probably just got scared, You know me, 200 hp and I backed out because of the Transmission. I didn't want to pay 57K and blow up my ride. I think I made the wise choice. With that said, Golfer.....You need a 90 MM Throttle Body.

LOL

Dang it Golfer! You have got me re-thinking, "This has got to be bad".

I want to clarify that blown 5.0's I mean 5.0's with superchargers.  Not blowed up Coyotes ;) One or both of them may have had built C4 tranny's but it's definitely doable.  FWIW a C4 will bolt up to a Coyote... :angel:

As far as the throttle body I have an eco-box Mustang.  An eco-box I might need to sell to get out from under the payment.  I left my great amazing awesome "I love it here" job for a new opportunity and 6 weeks after I started flying trips got walking papers. Ouch.  Working as a contractor now for a daily rate.  Have kept busy with getting an LLC up and running, had a couple trips so far and have plenty of work to do around the house after my December water damage claim so I'm definitely not long on spare time despite the situation.

Wanna buy a '12 eco box?  Gets 32mpg on the freeway and it doesn't need a roll bar to take it to the track like your GT does.  I'll throw in the drag pack too ;)

Avoid any Mustang with the T-5 Tremec transmission.
My wife had an '05 V-6 Mustang with automatic T-5 (OD) tranny and after 122,000 miles of all highway driving the tranny was kaput.  We promptly traded it in on a more reliable car (2010 BMW) and I swear to whatever god their maybe I will NEVER own another Ford automobile again. Been bit too many times.

Ford Trucks=Great success with their products over the years
Ford Cars= Suck.
