Thanks for the input, both for and against. That is exactly what I asked for.

I think I am leaning towards supercharging because I want something a little more exotic. I also feel that the car will be all around better as far as driveability is concerned. I had big concerns about reliability, but the more I research it the more comfortable I am becoming with it.

The car should still rumble nicely. It is not the traditional approach, but in the mid sixtys when the REAL THING hit the spotlight, wasn't the cobra a little over the top. I think that is what got our attention in the first place. Big HP and TQ in a small package seemed like just what the doctor ordered. With todays technology, why not up the ante????

If the car is out of control fast, I can just run it with lower boost. If i get used to 475hp and start craving more, like I think I will, Iwould have to start over with a new set up or run less reliable HP gainers like NOS

Big power gains for a reasonable price. far less quirky than a regularly aspirated 600+ hp car. Sure its the road less traveled, but what are the negatives other than a little whistle. If you are aware of any (other than thats not how Shelby did it) let me know as I REALLY want to make the right decision. thanks Tom
