Thanks Paul - and it is a LOT of fun to drive.

I just need to do the upgrade/custom air supply like you did now.

Ok this is such a noob question, considering I dont get my car until Monday, but what is an X-Charger kit, like what does it do? Is it a supercharger or anything like turbo? If anyone can even direct me to a post that explains it(maybe I'm just blind and missed it)?

Is it good for everyday driving or specificly for racing? theres got to be somewhere explaining all this haha! So many questions, Im really sorry!

The X-Charger is a supercharger kit for the 4.0L Mustang made by Explorer Express, with tuning by Bamachips. It uses an Eaton MP90 blower to increase horsepower and torque

It is usable for for racing and every day street use (mine has been on for three years, 27K mi and has been used for several roundtrips from Boston to Kansas City and back. VERY reliable.)

I don't think that there were any major changes for the 2010 4.0L V6 so the kit probably would work. Best bet would be to contact Dave at Explorer Express (www.explorerexpress.com) and check with him. It is a great supercharger - I installed mine a week ago and have been very happy with it. Took it to the track yesterday and conditions were pretty bad - lots of tire spin off the line especially with the increased power of the Xcharger. I did beat a lightly modded Charger with the 5.7L Hemi though, and I know that for the track the car has a lot more in it once I get it dialed in and the track prep is better.

Well, crappy track condition aside, that's a great start

Default Hey KILDAR

Take and do a loop on your heater hoses going to your TB, you don't need them , all it's doing is heating the air going into your X!!!!! just put some vacuum caps over the barbs on the TB.

Default boost a pump

so ive been lookin around and im curious about this kenne bell boost a pump. it sounds like a pretty sweet upgrade, you know leveling out the fuel parameters and such, but, if a kit, like the x-charger, is designed to operate with the stock fuel pump at stock voltage requirements, whats the advantage? is the kit not at full potential without something like a boost a pump? to me, with the upgraded fuel injectors, that would be enough, but, at the same time, i can see how a FI system could make a motor run very lean.

The "X" works fine with the stock fuel pump. That's what it's designed to use, and an auxiliary pump is simply unecessary.

+1

The stock pump has enough capacity to feed the larger injectors that come with the X.

The tune is based on stock pump with 39lb injectors.
