Hey guys, I appreciate the info. So far I am leaning towards a supercharger after all that i've heard, but still hesitant because i'm trying to mod the car to "look and sound good" but to where the items will for the most part extend the new motor life not wear it out quicker (I hear SC's wear the engine out faster, if mistaken please tell me).

Ok so far about the headers, Throttle Body, and pullies. I'm curious (a fact I should have mentioned at the start but i'm a noob as always). Are these items gonna make any difference for a Automatic tranny? Yes I know i'm gonna get ragged on for it but my stang is a auto (though I have thought to change it to a manual during this mod process).

Now for the bolt on items ur talking about "tb/plenum/intake/lts/offroad midpipe/catback" Now I know what the TB, Intake, and Catback are. But what is a Plenum and lts? Also the "offroad Midpipe" i assume it's called a offroad cuz it's not street legal or am I mistaken on this too? But if anyone could recommend a fitting or specific item for a TB intake etc i'd appreciate it so I buy a quality one not a junk one (whick a lot of times the most expensive turn out to NOT be the quality one's).

BTW I do understand the difference between the crank HP and RWHP. I know that all the little toys and other components drain HP before it hits the RW's.

I'm thinking from what i'm hearing that I should have them professionally installed so i'll probably have a friend in my unit who's a mechanic help me put it together but I wanna do it myself too so I can learn and know how to do stuff myself.
