Go to some other mustang forums. You might find some negative reviews and issues.

Best guess 40~rwhp either way.
I never really planned on adding the Procharger (came across a great deal), so I was just trying to add power N/A. I work for Ford so the FRPP parts were purchased at a discount.

i was a little concerned at first with the Intake swelling/contracting but so far it has held up. If I were to push boost pass 16lbs like Steve's car I would probably swap over to an aluminum intake.

woo hoo! 40whp is a nice increase either way.

Do you think that drilling for the IAT sensor in the FRPP intake manifold will eventually make it crack due to the flexing?? The Vortech requires the IAT sensor in the 2nd intake runner on the passanger side..

Not sure as the runners are not as pronounced as the factory intake. There are reinforced ribs coming up from the runners where they meet the head. The IAT sensor would have to be mounted above the ribs. That is where most of the swelling/contracting takes place.

Just make sure that you have at least 4.10 gears as you will lose a good bit of low-end torque by installing that combo. I would guess that you would pick up anywhere from 30 - 40 rwhp (mostly in the high RPM band - >6,000 RPMs).
