Can my 7.5 axle handle ~350 WHP with these upgrades?
Since I may supercharge my 2010 V6 in the future, I have a few questions.
I've bought and am putting in a panhard rod, G-trac brace, frame rail/torque box braces, and LCA w/ upper link, all from Steeda, soon. Will these reinforcements compensate for the smaller axle, or should I sell my T-Lok? As I mentioned, in the distant future I may also likely supercharge, meaning an 8.8 axle will be required, correct? If so I'm thinking I might sell my 28 spline T-Lok and wait on the purchase of new gears since I have read 350+ HP requires an 8.8 or greater axle.

To my surprise, the limited research I've done so far has produced very little information about supercharging the 4.0L Mustang, so any links or information on superchargers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.
I'm runing the Xcharger on my 4.0 now (www.explorerexpress.com) - there are a lot of superchargers out for the 4.0 though.
I bent the pinion on my 7.5 while N/A, only a tune, CAI, aluminum driveshaft, 3.73 and Tlok and the LPW low profile girdle on the rear, and a set of drag radials at the track.
If you plan to drive with sticky tires and at the track then don't do the upgrades to the 7.5. You will be money ahead to just do the 8.8 right from the start.

Depends on if you can make it hook. A friend of mine put down just shy of 400hp on his 7.5 with a s/c 5.0 & has had no trouble out of it, but he's running some pretty skinny tires. On the other hand, one of my other close friends with a stock v6 has went through 3 7.5's & is running 275's on the rear.
