We torture-test Paxton’s new eight-rib belt-drive system for supercharged Coyote 5.0L engines.

Belt-driven boost-makers, better known as superchargers, go with Mustang performance like hot dogs and baseball. The popularity of supercharging is evident by the sheer numbers of systems and configurations, especially those for the ‘11-present Mustang GT and Boss 302. Last we counted, there was no less than eight manufacturers offering varying levels of superchargers for that genre of Mustang. And there are even more kits for the Three-Valve.

Converting to a coilover suspension on an ‘03 Cobra improves handling without the usual side effects.

Modifying our Mustangs often involves trade-offs: adding top-end horsepower could sacrifice low-end torque, a high-flow exhaust may bludgeon your eardrums, and a stiffer suspension can be just that–stiff.
