Not to bring back an old post, or put this in the wrong place, but I may have overlooked it somewhere, but what are the gains if you put a shift kit in a stock, auto trans? (j-mod I guess its called?)
Thanks for the list VCS. I just bought a 96 and have been wanting to mod it to get some more power from it. Other people have told me much the same things as you have here. The big thing I got tho was that if you have one of the Mustang 3.8Ls the compression is too high to run more than a couple psi of boost with a turbo or supercharger. Do you know anything about that and what could be done to change that if I want a turbo?

? I'm confused as to what your trying to say... 11-12psi is the limit on the stock internals from a s/c, turbo I wouldn't do much more than 8.7psi on stock internals maybe less.

I was trying to say that in my research I found that (at my altitude at least) a turbo would not do much good with a 3.8L in the mustangs because the compression is already too high for the turbo to do much.
