There was an article about a Paxton supercharged Cougar. Anyone ever pursue Paxton about this kit. The article said they were working on price and production at that time. I just searching for alternatives to the Vortech. -Kyle Kyle Pickett (Austin,TX) 98 SVT (silver) #860 of 6535 Eibachs/Konis 18" TSW SGVs-225/40/18 Sumitomos KKM intake/BAT inlet pipe KKM pedals Sho Shop pulleys B&M shifter/ATR aluminum knob mesh grilles Autometer shift lite SCA sidemarkers Hose Techniques SuperBlue hose kit Home-made rear STB

A Paxton Supercharger is still very different from a Vortech. -Mark You can do something for Love... You can do something for Money...
