Got Some Money to Spend Need Help on How to Spend it!

[importrx7]

2000 Ford Mustang 67,000 miles 5-speed, currently has 75mm bbk throttle body and plenium, magnaflow catback, short shifter, cai, and lowering springs of some short.

This is my only car, and i drive the car in the winter time.

Heres what i'm considering

Mongoose Vortech kit from MPH

Bassani x-pipe

Buying new rims @ same size of stock 17'' so i can put my new tires on them (don't want anything bigger)
Then putting snow tires on the stock rims

Springs make the car to low to drive in the snow it ends up plowing the road, considering either to go back to stock ride height, or looking for springs that barely lower the car at all though are stiff. Shocks should prolly be purchased i think to since the miles on the car.

Stock clutch will need to be replaced i'd imagine since the supercharger will smoke it out anyways.

Im worried i'll turn a car that gives me no problems into a car that is complete rubbish installing the supercharger and adding extra power with the stock engine with 67,000 miles.

I know gas mileage shouldn't decrease that much, i'd like to hear how many miles my engine can go with the supercharger, i don't plan on beating the hell out of it, i just wanna kick some cameros ass because i hate those pushrod pieces of ****

Good ideas? and/or any thoughts or ideas would help greatly

You'll be beating on it every day lol, so don't expect good gas mileage. You'll most likely get 15-17mpg in town. Sounds like a good plan though.

how many miles are on your stang i see you have a charger

 

[importrx7]

what springs provide the min. drop with maxium stiffness??

 

[the98stang]

81k on the stang.

Coilovers are the best setup overall for handling and drag.

if I were you I would build up the car during the winter and when spring comes your car will be ready for a supercharger. I'd start with things like general maitenance, clutch and maybe flywheel, gears would help on a centrifugal s/c so you might as well do the differential and axles, and a programmer since you will have to buy one anyways. Buy 2 wheels of the same style and put on some Mickey Thompson et streets for when you want to have some fun.

How much money do you have to spend? You can save a lot by buying a used SC kit and put the rest of the money towards longtubes, cams, custom tune, etc... And miles really have nothing to do with supercharging as long as you have a good tune and preventive maintenance.

used kits FTFW!!

Regardless of what others say

I have a used vortech im looking to sell here real soon lol....

Anyway, mongoose kit is great if you have the cash for it (mine was a mongoose kit).

IMO spend more on suspension than power, most people can't even handle the amount of power one of these cars have stock (or hell, what a civic has stock lol...).

HID Conversion Kit. Just did it to mine... now i can see where i'm going at night! (and they look sweet).

 

[importrx7]

I've got 5-8 grand to spend, on the car, installing seems to be a problem for most of this stuff (sus., and charger) since i know of no where i would trust in the columbus area to work on the car and get it done fast.

HID kit seemed like a good idea...

I can handle the power of the car without a problem owned a FD with 400rwhp before i bought the stang so handling of power is no concern to me what so ever
