V6 SC or 4.6 v8 swap?

I have the 4.0 V6 and i was looking to put more power to the pavement but the 4.0 has its limit on the 1/4 times. i was thinking about getting a super charger to keep them imports with turbos off my back but also want to go up agains the V8's. so instead of waisting up to $5,000 on super charger for the v6, would it be better spent saving up for a 4.6 and drive line swap and possably a turbo/SC?

Well man, it depends. The stock 4.0 is a decent engine for being just a 6, but it has its limits. 05Horse has one of the sexiest mustangs I have seen and its a v6 with a S/C but with the 4.0 and the supercharger he is pushing out a little over 340 horses which in itself isnt bad, but the 4.6 makes about that much with a CAI a better exhaust and a tune. Also, the 4.0 has its limits, its no 350z... For the money I'd say save up for the 4.6 and a better suspension (make it a good suspension im personally a Steeda guy but take your pick) 4.6 + suspension = mid to high 12s allll dayy :bigthumbsup But it is totally your call man, just my .02
There is a lot more knowledgeable guys on this forum than me, so don't just listen to my advice. But personally im a v8 man, my dad has an 06 v6 and absolutely loves it, but to each his own i guess :D
I also found this previous post for you from a while back, hope this helps. http://www.allfordmustangs.com/forums/2005-2010-mustang-talk/116977-2005-mustang-engine-swap-v6-v8.html
