Look into some Steeda Underdrive Pulleys. Stay away from March Pulleys unless you can locate a non-piggy back style of pulleys from them.

Piggyback pulleys come with a new crank pulley, but it has no damper built into it, so you have to take your HUGE STOCK CRANK PULLEY and bolt it to the front of your new underdrive pulley!! Totally ruins the 'less rotational weight' crap March feed's you... You'll still feel the difference with piggybacks, but it won't be as significant as non-piggyback's.

Your stock alternator will be fine and you will have no charging issues.

^^just to add on to what he said. You will not have any charging issues but some power items may work slower. i.e. it's normal for you power windows to raise and lower slower with pullies. Nothing dramatic though.

Just about evey mod for the mustang gives more torque than horsepower.

hp is good but it just gets u wanting to go faster i think is more fun to be going and punch it and spin the tires or throw ur head back in the seat. but i want to get some more mods but would i have to change heads and intake and all the other stuff if i got new cams

if you get stage 1 cams you can use stock tune and it should idle ok. if you go stage 2 its recommened that you forge your bottom end, 3.55+ gears, a tune, for the full power of stage 2s.
