Congratulations! You have purchased the finest street supercharger available for the Mustang
Cobra. The centerpiece of this kit is the High Efficiency PAXTON Supercharger, a mechanically
driven centrifugal blower.
This kit comes with all the parts you will need to install the supercharger. The instruction manual has been edit-
ed in order of sequence, and photographs and drawings have been included to illustrate the text. This will allow
you quick part identification and orientation.
The installation will require metric and SAE sockets and wrenches, a hand drill and bits, an Air Hammer (and
compressor), a 3/8” x 18 NPT tap, screwdrivers, and a supply of buckets for the reserve of coolant and oils.
We suggest that you obtain a copy of a Mustang shop manual for your model of car. This may be obtained from
your dealer, or may be ordered by mail from Helm Publications at (800) 782-4356. become familiar with the
details of your car’s system. If it is not operating within normal parameters, we do not recommend the installa-
tion or use of the supercharger.
For the quickest installation time, we suggest that you read this manual thoroughly before beginning. Make sure
that you understand the process, have identified the areas of the car that you will be working on, and have the
tools that you will need on hand. The average installation time is 8 to 10 hours, but your time will depend on
your working conditions, experience installing superchargers, personal skill level, and preparedness for the job.
This estimate does not include time for the initial vehicle inspection, cleaning, fine tuning, or trouble-shooting.
Once again, we recommend reading the manual before beginning the process. We are available for tech support
at (805) 604-1336, Monday through Friday, 7AM - 3 PM PST.
After reading the manual, verify that all major assembly groups are present in the main kit box. As you remove a
box or bag, note the identification label and compare it to the parts list.
PAXTON AuTOMOTIVE makes every effort to insure that all parts
are included in the box. If you discover that you are
missing any part, or that a part was damaged in shipping,
call PAXTON immediately. DO NOT begin installation if a part is missing.
Failure to contact PAXTON prior to beginning installation
will result in a charge for the missing part.
We suggest that the engine compartment be cleaned before the installation. You can clean the engine with a
pressure washer that is found at self-serve car washes. use a safe-for-aluminum cleaner/degreaser, and cover
the distributor and any electronics with a plastic bag to prevent water from entering.
You are undoubtedly eager to get started, but please take a little more time to insure that your safety is not in
jeopardy. A moment’s lack of attention may cause a serious injury to you, or to someone else who happens to
be standing around. by following some simple safety precautions, you can avoid many potential dangers. The
following list is not meant to be a comprehensive list, but rather it is meant to make you aware of some of the
risks, and encourage you to take a safety minded approach to your work area.
