I can't recommend a tune with good conscious unless you can afford to buy another mustang. Most people on this forum support tunes but thats maybe a couple hundred over the thousands of people in the country who have mustangs? It makes me sad when I think of all the people I have seen in person get a bama tune and then their car doesn't start - or worse on the newer ones they get cylinder damage and need a new engine. (Though I hear they BAMA supposedly fixed this issue)
IMO a few extra theoretical horses aren't worth killing my 30 thousand dollar car, but if you can swing it then supercharger would give you the best bang for buck. Otherwise I prefer to leave things factory with a few tasteful aesthetic mods and keep it in in like new condition :P
(Just saying from experience, when I was in the military I had a 03 GT that I decked out in mods, full bolt ons, forced induction, almost everything - yeah it was fast and fun to drive, but with great mods comes great headaches.)

I suggest you do charge motion delete plugs, LT headers, and supercharger but before adding a supercharger, upgrade the rear suspension and fit stickier tires.

They aren't integrated. They are deleted with the PD blowers. I think that's what you meant anyways. The PD blowers replace the entire intake manifold with shorter runners and the blower sits on top.

Yeah so charge motion plate deletes are integrated in to the runners of the roots style ( which are only mounted to the top). I think we're on the same page. I was, at least, fairly certain that they retain the stock intake runner length. If they were entirely eliminated and not integrated, the blower runners would be shorter no?

I can't tell you the exact runner length, but on the KB, it seems like the runner length is half or less of what stock was.
