With 4:10's you'd be shifting all the time. Might be annoying in everyday traffic. But yeah, they would deffinetly add more acceleration. Just skip the nitrous and buy a used supercharger. There is nothing better than forced induction

Decisions decisions... I personally think spray would be fun. Go to the pipes, boost, and juice section for some opinions on inexpensive power adders

I bought mu Vortech used with 3,000 miles on it for $1900. It was a complete kit with everything. You can get them cheaper if you really look. Corral.Net has an awesome classified section. Vortech, Procharger and Paxton are good choices. But stay away from Powerdyne.

Powerdynes are known for failure. They are made poorly with cheap bearings, etc. I almost bought one but decided to wait. Glad I did. A week later I got my Vortech. Because your motor is stock, an entry level Vortech or Paxton should get you between 6 and 8psi of boost. Most come with an fmu which should allow you to run your stock injectors. But when you start adding more modifications, 30lb or 42lb injectors will be a neccessity. A 255lph fuel pump will be one thing you need($120). Installation is easy. I'll let you know if I see any good deals. Boost is a blast. Let me know if you have any Q's.

The Supercharger took me two days to complete. I took my time and sorted things out. With the supercharger you should be pushing around 270-300 horsepower at the wheels and about 325 torques as well. That's about 320 flywheel horsepower and 380 torque. Also, when purchasing a kit, make sure you get one that is specific to the 94-95 mustangs. The 86-93 will not work.
