Default I just got my supercharger now what

Guys any ideas on a good next step? I am running 400RWHP on a stock mustang. I am considering a new clutch or perhaps new exhaust. I put in an ATI intercooled system, is there anything I need to to replace with this increse in HP?

Thanks

no...if you start getting above 450rwhp you need to start changing your rotating assembly. other than that youre fine

My next step would be to put a lawyer on retainer or make a very large charitable donation to the local police dept.

p.s. I'm jealous

What are your other mods? Any suspension work?

Exhaust. All the air you're pushing into the engine has to go somewhere, and the easier it can flow out, the better. Also if the car has a computer, make sure it's reflashed or updated for the extra airflow.

A brake upgrade wouldn't be a bad idea. If you can go faster, you will need to stop faster.

If its stock im guessing no suspensionwork has been done... i was always told ... you can afford all the power you want, but you have to be able to transfer that to the ground... just a thought

+1 on the suspension upgrades & a good set of rear tires!Get that power to the ground then step two would be the exhaust then step three would be the right gear for your driving habits.
