I don't want to search for mine haha. I remember reading through the M112 thread when Matt started it and thinking to myself WTF this guy BUILT a kit to take the supercharger off a cobra and put it on our cars, holy hell.

Well I know I'm still new to the site and haven't been a frequent poster, but it just seems to me that we can help educate him instead of discussing why his question is ridiculous and looking for others to agree that it's ridiculous. As he learns, his questions will then be less ridiculous to you.

Remember, those of you commenting have 3,000 to 5,000 posts in this corner of the Mustang Universe. He has 2.

Like I said man, I'm all for helping whenever I can but without a more specific question/budget theres hundreds of replies that could be made. So until then....

Got everything above but the harmonic balancer pulley, just ordered one!

Also, a few other things that may increase the speed are:

Rear seat deletion kit (anything to drop the weight will make it faster!). Most of the kits are crap because they are flimsy material and the carpeting material is cheap, you're better off making the kit yourself with quality carpet and then mounting it to some lightweight wood otherwise the first time you throw something in back without thinking you will ruin it.

Throttle body kit from American Muscle, I got one and it made a big difference in acceleration and increased my HP.

Shorty headers...I haven't put these in yet but it's next on my list of things to do and it will increase HP and torque.

shorty headers and a tb are both a waste of money on our cars for performance. You don't need a bigger tb until your making more power and have the properly matched intake opening and longtube headers are your best option for exhaust as far as power/sound/flow.

I beg to differ, I put in this TBK

http://www.americanmuscle.com/bbk-65...dy-9900v6.html

I noticed a big improvement with acceleration and did notice an increase in power.
