Hello, I'm new to the forums and own a 1988 Mustang GT with T-tops. Mods are very light right now, 1 5/8" BBK shorty headers, BBK H-pipe and in-fender cold air.
I'm from Canada and am trying to decide what mods to do for summer. I was thinking of going with a Trickflow top end kit, but am also interested in supercharging. I recently PM'd a user on my local car forum about a supercharger he mentioned he had for sale, and it turns out his whole setup is for sale. This is the parts list:

Trick flow upper and lower
mac 2.5 in equal lengh shorties
f-303cam
42lbs injectors
255 lph pump
areomotive fuel rails (boost ref fuel pres regulator)
mass air
throttle body
ford racing boost and fuel pressure guages (vent mount)
some ford heads that have been ported and polished with bigger valves (bought from corners)
tweeker chip and software, and cords
novi 1000 with all mounting hardwear(ran at 6 psi)

This is copied right from the PM, I was just wondering if anyone can point out anything wrong with that list, any bad parts or missing parts. I'm not necessarily going to buy it, but would like some info on it.

....you sound like an American describing Canada like it's a small town of about 30-people.

I'm about 40 min southeast of Winnipeg, Manitoba.

I just got another PM from the guy with some more information about the parts;

He bought everything brand new, has all receipts. Estimated mileage on the setup is about 6000 km, about 3728 mi. He did most of the work on it, and the heads were bought from a local performance shop. I'm still waiting for more detailed specs on the heads. And finally, right now his ballpark price is around $4000, he said he could look at his receipts and come up with a more detailed price, so I'm waiting for that too.

Any more thoughts?

I’d tell you, but most people still have no idea where it is, so I’ll just show you.

What would be the reasons for not using an F-cam-what would be a better choice?

Also, would it be a good idea to just buy the supercharger and the fuel system upgrades and running that with my stock upper/lower intake and heads for this summer?

If it were me and I had the cabbage, I'd do it all in one shot. It's a proven combination and it saves you from scrounging up parts afterwards, long wait times and paying multiple shipping costs.

The ball park for used parts is essentially take what they're worth at retail and knock anywhere from 25-50% off their worth depending on their age and condition. I'd say you're probably getting a pretty fair deal at $4,000. Whether or not you can afford that much, is up to you and your bank.
