VMP supercharger shopping,

[ahl395]

Thanks. Maybe one day I’ll get to that point. Going to ease into it and try not to break the car. Any advice on what tires for street use at the 600 WHP level?

I have the 8 inch wide 18s with the stock 235’s. I know I need wheels but don’t want to rush that at the moment as I want to be absolutely sure I’ll be happy with the way they look.
I’m HOPING I can get away with throwing some Michelin Pilot Sport AS3’s on the stock rims for now. The car is not a DD, but I do drive it year round.

If you want to even think about hooking your going to need wider wheels and at the least summer tires if not drag radials. All your going to do with a supercharger on 235 all seasons is spin.

You should not discriminate on supporting a product whether bought second hand or not. At my business we don't do this, we support anything that passed through our company. No excuses.

I have no beef with VMP, but they seem to be late to the 18+ Mustang market, with potential new product issues until the little bugs get ironed out. Hearing they may or may not be there for support, especially with the kind of money being spent, is enough to hitch my wagon to Edelebrock or Whipple.

No for the all seasons sir, get you something sticky. I know it's hot down in FL but I'm telling you, you need a wider rim and a minimum of a 285 rear for 600+ RWHP. with those 235's you'll be buying tires all the time and have the traction control on like a Christmas tree.
