If your looking to blow up your stock motor and have to rebuild it this is a great way to go.
Never ever ever ever ever run the generic tune from any of the supercharger companys. If its not coming from a shop that has lots of experence specfically with 2v mustangs its a terrible idea.
Getting a tune from a reputable shop, even if they send it to you without ever seeing the car is fine, but no matter what you MUST get it on a dyno or wideband A/f meter and get it checked.

I will use kenne bells supplied tune, with their cool airkit 90mm maf and 75mm TB they saud with mild tune at 9 psi intercooled should be at 400 either side of it anyway. Thanks for your help or reassurance

You have the basic same setup I am planning once I pay off the car in a couple months and get the damn thing de-cobrafied!

ive talked to a few tuners and depending on the tune and how you drive your car 450 is ok, ive met a few guys makin 460-470ish and havent had any problems yet. just be warned every car is different

you'll be fine if you stay around 400rwhp, 450 is really pushing it from what i've heard

ive heard time and time that 450 is the max the bottom end can handle so if ur pushing 430 why not be safe, get some forged internals and turn up the boost. the phrase "better safe than sorry" can really apply here. rather spend hundreds on internals than possibly thousands in repairs

thanks for the input, I will have the car checked on the dyno by Patrick Stadjel of Sniper Tuning, he and Jim Bell are good friends.
