My mustang is my DD and I am looking for more performance out of her. I have a CAI and tune from brenspeed and am looking for better pull and acceleration. I am in the mid west for another month so I could make the trip to brenspeed easily to have the saleen stage II kit installed. I don't do 1/4 mile runs, just like quick acceleration 0-80 to get that i'm stuck to the seat feeling in and around town. So will 4.10 gears accomplish this for much less or is a supercharger the only way. Like I said this is my DD.

Not even close.

Gears will defineatly help and you will feel a difference but it isnt anything like an extra 140rwhp.

If you have the cash for a Stage 2 I would get that. It is very streetable, and should be reliable if maintained well.

I have a whipple HO on my DD and love it. No problems in 5k miles, and I dont expect any in the next 40k+.

Get blown.

Well when i changed gears i got maybe .2 quicker in the quarter mile.
When I went with a supercharger my car went from 14 seconds in the quarter to low 11s.
You cant even put them on the same level of modifications

Diabolical!

Gears. No doubt. Lol.

do the gears first, if that aint enough, then slap that saleen on there. for a DD keep it at low boost.

i understand there is nothing like adding 100+ horsepower, but will I be able to enjoy it on the streets of my DD. will the s/c make the car rev faster,because right now i am just not hitting the higher rpms (3500+) and/or using all my power i have so that is why I was thinking gears. I would really love a s/c but I just need to justify if it will fit my vehicle needs.

Honestly in the end it is up to you, but if you are comparing the gains, a S/C is the way to go.

With a Twin Screw blower you will make practically peak boost at 2000rpms, but only when you go WOT.

I agree with the above statement, get the gears and see if it is enough. If not add the blower.

My car is a DD and I might only get into the boost once or twice a day, but man is it worth it. Car drive like stock when you are cruising, but wakes up at WOT.

I disagree.
Get the supercharger and then see if you need a gear change once you see the result.

It sounded to me like he wasnt sure if he should drop the coin on a S/C in case he might be happy enough with just the gears.

Why dont you find someone local who has gears, and one with a S/C.

Try before you buy. Must be a mustang club around there are thousands of them.
