Many online places sell a complete bolt-on P-1SC kit for just over $2,500 and that includes everything you need (battery relocation kit, FMU, etc.)
Used or new? Link?

I totally agree with full auto... go with a Novi 1000 w/ a crank pulley and a power pipe and lay out serious numbers for around $2200 dollars..... BRAND NEW.

Those are for new units. Here are a couple links to check out:
Link 1
Link 2
Link 3

Of course, those are just three of many sites out there that sell them. With a majority of the sites, they require you to email or call for prices. The kit I purchased was the 1FA012-SC for the 1995 Mustang GT. The 94 / 95 models tend to be a pain in the ***, and some bolt ons like this cost a little more than they would for a 93 or older 5.0. But either way, you can still get that kit for that price.

I hear so many bad things about powderdyne though.... many many many bad things. Some people get lucky and have no regrets but than you have that whole sh*tload of people who hate them and basically was a waste of $1700 dollars. You can get an SC or a Novi 1000 for the same price... why take a chance?

SSkiller has a really nice setup and he's running a Powerdyne with 6 PSI. But he's about the only person I know in here that has run them with no issues. A guy here in Maine has the same setup and he has been lucky with it...only lost a belt one. But other than that it has treated him well.

Not sure if those two storied are enough to overcome the many MANY horror storied I hear though. People just seem to have bad luck with them.
