Well, in about a month or two, im gonna be installing a Supercharger (deciding between the Vortech V-1 or the Paxton NOVI 1220SL). I know you dont need to change the MAF or injectors as it comes with the ECU. But i wanna do these small things first:

Im looking to install a upper and lower intake. Any suggestions? looking at a Trickflow setup or a holley setup with 70mm TB.

Im looking at installing a cam while im at it, im looking at a TFS Stage 1 or an E-303 cam. any suggestions? Im gonna keep the heads stock for now.


The reason why i dont wanna go into the heads for now is because i cant afford them and i really dont wanna tear the engine down that much just yet. Im thinking i can get a pretty decent HP reading if i go with the above parts and keep the boost at 6 psi. Im also thinking of changing the injectors to 24's and changing the FP and the regulator.


Any tips or suggestions? thanks guys!

I run the trick flow h/c/i, it consists of the stage 1 cam. Would you be buying the voretch as a brand new kit or used. the reason why i ask is becuase. the kit will come with everything you need and you will not have to purchase anything else. IT comes with fuel management, etc. You can always upgrade injectors and such later on if you want but the kit will get you ready to roll.

Ill be buying the kit brand new with everything. Im also planning to go with an AFM Power Pipe. Ill just be doing Cam and Intake for now because i really dont wanna tear down the engine that far, and that this car is pretty much my daily driver ( I have another car i can use, but i really dont wanna keep the mustang down for a long time) And i know i can do the Cam and intake in a weekend, and the supercharger in another weekend.

If i use the FMU, can i go with bigger injectors and a bigger fuel pump too? Ill eventually get rid of the FMU when i get an AFM PMS to tune the whole deal.

After all is said and done, on 6 PSI, what do you guys think my power at the wheels would be? I have an AOD btw.

yes you sure can use the fmu with bigger injectors. you will have to get the calibration disc for whatever size injector you go with. I think its only like 40 bucks or something. you can get any calibration up to 42 pound injectors i beleive. I put down 380hp/ 396 torque on a mustang dyno with the mods in my sig. I only got 7 pounds of boost with the 10 pound pulley though becuase of my higher flowing heads. i have a power pipe as well. also, you wont need the external trex pump if you just put a 255 in tank pump in. thats all i run. i think its good for like 500 hp on boost. after that, you would need the inline with the in tank

just a tip you might as well take the heads off and put NEW better head gaskets if your going to change the cam... just take it one more step further! Save a headace in the future!
