Thanks for the info. Although most of it I don't understand (like the X/H and all... remember i'm a know nothing when it comes to car mechanics).

The alternator is because the Turbonator runs off the alternator from what I read and it says it uses 2.2AMP's from it. My Mustang currently has a Mach 1000 in it and I like my music loud and when I play it loud all the lights in my car dim out when the subs kick so I figure it'd be safe to put a 200 AMP Alternator in. If i'm mistaken then please tell me cause that's 300 I can save then lol.

I appreciate the info on the Cat, but what is a CAI? Also anything else you think that would be good to add to the mods either? I mean another bolt on item or something? Also any advise on finding a rebuilt engine and transmission? BTW the reason for the new engine and transmission is because the mustang has 146K in miles (was 135K when I bought it but the car still runs almost like it's just off the showroom floor lol). But I'm experiencing a few engine problems their minor so I think I should just swap in a rebuilt rather than repairing it when it breaks, and the transmission is just to be safe since I expect it'll start having problems too since it's got 146K in miles on it lol.

Nevermind on the CAI question... I figured it out when I looked again and figured out u meant the Cold air intake lol. Sry.
