Hooking up will not be such a problem at the track, not bogging with slicks or snapping my rearend will be one hell of a trick

I currently drive a 2002 mustang gt 5 spd with 4.10s, o/r x pipe,excal 2 tuner,and mac catback. Those are just the power mods done to the car.
I recently purchased a P1-SC Stage 2 supercharger kit. (3 core intercooler)
I would like to run 8 pounds of boost and produce at least 375rwhp.
Is this asking way too much even when profesionaly dyno tuned?
Or should I just run 10 pounds?

with 4:10's you'll run through gears too fast. A freind of mine had 4:10's in his mustang and he was pushing 350rwhp and he had no traction and he just ran out of gear to quickley.
What Im asking is will 400 be possible at 8 pounds without running too lean?
What are other people making who are blown?

Its good to know that im not the only one on here crazy enough to run 4.10s with a blower.
Also I will be using the 3 core intercooler and not the older 2 core
Everyone else can have fun sitting in the twelves while I hit 11s my first

So far as using a slick, you won't be able to really get the full use out of it. I was leaving at 4,000 RPM (on stock axle FTW!) last time at the track with the MT ET Streets, and I didn't see any tire spin. If you try to go out there on a stock 8.8 and pull a 5500 RPM clutch drop on slicks its going to break, if it hooks up at all on the stock suspnesion.

I have the 8 psi w/ 2-core and am making 361rwhp. I do have a Full upper and lower intake from Trick flow, but I stillam runningcats and stock manifolds. I also have a pretty conservative tune. So no, 375rwhp isn't out of the question but you will need at least a throttle body/plenum upgrade and free flowing exhaust.
By the way, I have 4.10s and they're fun as hell!!!

Mine made 395 at the wheels at 10psi with a 3 core full exhaust and a throttle body...
I've got 4.10s ... on street tires 1st gear starts and ends pretty quickly but its no big deal really... just shift faster.. makes for a cool ride when the tires start breaking loose in 3rd when it builds boost

im runnin sq v2 on stock pully making about 350 rwhp and i have 4.10's and love it first gear is very short and very little traction if you dont drive it right but if done right very doable. as long as your tune is good and your fuel system is good enough to handle the power there should be no reason why 400 in not doable. but that is the limit on a stock block/internals.
