Default I need some help with my Mustang!!!

ok i got this mustang about a week ago and here is what has been done to it before i got it. The body is a 1995 v6, the engine is a 98 4.6l gt and it has a procharger on it. As far as engine mods it has the pro charger a 75mm throttle body a 90mm SCT senors, Ford racing heads,12lbs pulley giving it 12lbs of boost, its runing on 32lbs injectors and it all so has the 2:55 fuel pump. It has the stock v6 suspension set up on it. the rear end is a 8:8 gt rear end. the guy i got it from had it dynoed and it put 425 hp to the wheels
Here are the ?'s i have. The mustang wants to keep dying on me when i come to a complete stop like at a red light. I dont know if i need bigger feul injectors or if it just needs to be tuned. I was thinking about changing to a 10lbs pulley and seeing if that would help. Then what kind of suspension should i put under it? And i dont know what gears to put in it i was thinking 4.10 gears if anyone can help me a really appreciate it thanks

Your likely in need of a new pcv valve, or iac valve or you have a vacuum leak somewhere if your car is wanting to die when stopping.

you suspension depends on your intended use. if you drag race a lot you may want to do a 70/30 or 90/10 strut up front or something like that. Or if you like the twisties you may chose to go with coilovers on all 4 corners.

what do you want to do with your car?

4.10's will be a little much for the car if you plan on tracking it. you'll run out of gear going down the track, which you don't want. you'll want to stick to something like a 3.55 or 3.73 gear.

Thanks i never thought about the pcv or iac valve. i was thinking about lowering about an 1 1/2 or 2 all the around. i would like to have it set up for drag racing. i dont race a lot but just in case i decided to lol

i would check the IAC

for the gears, for a drag car i would step up to 4.10s...if you are running out of gear by the end of the track, just get a taller tire...but you should be fine... 3.55 to 3.73 is not enough difference to justify the swap
