You'll be well over 400rw/tq if you have the mods in your sig.
Power and safety is all in the tune.
My engine w/ a bit over 135k has taken the S-trim the past few weeks. I've beaten on it quite a bit.
12-14# of boost, ran it up to 24* total spark WOT once just to see how much spark I could get away with. It pulled like never before. I backed it down until it gets cooler around here though.
Install wasn't as bad as I thought. Hardest part for me was lining up the powerpipe perfectly and bending the a/c line around.
Happy to tell you some more if this post doesn't answer your questions: http://forums.stangnet.com/showpost.php?p=7052441&postcount=5

Crappy stock heads and an AFM powerpipe. The boost is a representation of how restrictive your intake tract is.
Think about blowing through a straw vs a toilet paper tube. The straw has more pressure.
It'll be worth saving up a few extra bucks going either supercharged or N/A. You will see more power out of the supercharger up high. Both have their pros and cons. I like the boost.
I spent about a grand over the cost of the supercharger on misc crap. Regardless, you WANT a tune ASAP on it.
