a over drive will stille net you a gain in power to the wheels just not as much, and it will keep you from under charging.

also if you are gana go s/c u/d puillys are nota good idea.

ya build your engin, forged internals ect. i know the stock botom end can handle 9 psi with out a problom, however i don't think you will be at that for long, when a simpe pully swap and tune will inmprove it nicaly.

als oas i said tranny and drive line mods.
do you have a auto or stick

a aluminum fly wheel is very good, frees up some good hp and a aluminum drive shaft also helps with that.

chris just got a aluminum fly wheel so you may want to ask him
and the gt drive shafts fit our cars as well, i think all you need to do is swap the yoaks.

sfc are a VERY good mod. you will notice them easily.

your handling will improve pretty damn well.
I believe that it's a must on any mustang.. especially verts.

also.. weld them on..
