Default Pre S/C mods??

I'm wating till my warranty is up to throw on a supercharger, but I'd like to do some mods other then exhaust that will benefit the supercharger when I get around to it, I'd like to go with a built block first but again not till the warranty is up. I was thinking a set of comp cams maybe, would this be beneficial when I do end up going with a S/C, also looking at the CNC stage 2 or 3 livernois cylinder heads. http://www.livernoismotorsports.com/...t.phtml?p=1531

1 step ahead of you tungsten, got a full coilover set 275s and I heard 4.10s dont work well with a S/C was planning on leaving them stock, but i'm up for suggestions thanks.

3.73s for S/C set up, ive got 3.55s and they are nice but i think the 3.73 would be ultimately the bestest.

Personally I think heads are over rated. You can compensate any increase in hp by just adding 1/2 a lb of psi. They are much better mods to do b4 the heads. The heads would be around the end of the run.

how about some MSD coils
Better clutch Pack for the diff (although the GT has aLSD I've heard the one from the GT500 is better and other companies make some even better)
do you have upgraded LCA's
maybe a k-member brace CHE

I would personally go with a built mmr shortblock and I already have stage 3 compcams which I would use as well as the whipple that would sit on top of this imaculate set-up pushing around 600rwhp...

Gear swap 373s ... maybe get yourself set up for a fuel system since your going forged twin gt pumps and -8 fuel line ... pick out some nice gauges...

MMR is mighty nice but I think livernois has the edge on the 3v. Their pistons are specifically made for the 4.6L 3v mustang engine, the other ones have a generic piston for all the 3v's. Now if it was a 2v i would definitively go with MMR.

Personally I would get Charge motion delete plates so nothing gets in the way of the forced air.... And I'd get new fuel pump and maybe injectors because you simply can't skimp on the fuel system. Dangerous in fact.

Of course tires will help you hookup better but I'd go for the necessities first.

Consider a clutch also...
