which FI option would you choose and why?
So Ive saved around $3500 for some more acceleration and power.
I only get to take out my mustang a couple of times a month.
Nitrous seemed like a smart cost effective choice but i think that i want the power there at all times. It seems to me these are my options-: Non intercooled 6psi 2.1L Kenne Bell Kit,
Non Intercooled Centrifugal supercharger (been looking at Vortech self contained V3 s)
or a cheap turbo kit like on3 or ponydown.

The 6psi KB (351rwHP) won't bring you right up to the breaking point for a stock GT bottom end--however it's close enough to be as "safe" as possible.
If I were boosting a stock GT engine that would be my choice--optimally tuned it will get you to 375 to 380rwHP, where more than one 2V has let go...

try this out. but instead of buying the discharge pipe for 200, go on ebay and get a universal i/c kit from cxracing for 200-300

for 3500 i would do an intercooled vortech and you would still have money left over even after you get the car tuned. i live in the south, non intercooled is not an option when its 105 degrees in the shade.
on3 still hasnt had enuff time to prove itself in my book. i remember when they first came out people bashed them left and right but they are starting to get some popularity. i havent heard of many of the kits failing, but they are still new and havent had nearly as much time to prove themselves in the long run like vortech and kenne bell.
and with on3 you will likely spend over 3500 all said and done especially if you don't do the k member install yourself.
