when you say over kill you mean its ridiculously big for a t/b or its like an over kill for n/a stangs and will hurt more than help?

its just ridiculously big haha. You will have to alter your Intake if you want it to fit up, because the coupler they give you (even with a aftermarket intake) will not be big enough to fit on the T/B more then likley. I had to stretch my JLT Cold Air like a **** to get it to fit.

my gears were installed by a guy who specializes in mustangs in NY for 225. The gears them selves aren't to pricey either. After a ~100 bucks for bearings and lube it comes out to about 600 bucks with install. You should bring your own gears and bearings to a local shop and ask then. trust me, gears>>>all intake mods combined (besides S/C of course 
)

I love my BBK 78mm. It is definitely not hurting my N/A performance as some ID10Ts will have you believe. IMO, the only reason not to go with the BBK 78mm combo is if you are planning on going with a positive displacement blower in the near future as the unit will need to be replaced.
Any other setup, why spend extra money on something when you don't have to. You also don't need to worry about the TB and Plenum ports lining up like when you mix and match different brands as the BBK is one unit and matched exactly.
