You seem to be on the right track. The injectors and ignition sound find. You will need a 255lph fuel pump at least and also spark plkugs that are one heat range colder gapped to 0.32. If you want to increase performanceget a smaller crank pulley and an AFM PowerPipe. Of course your car will need a professional tune period.

255lph fuel pump and throttle body were the two things that came to mind.

I know this is a far shot but, My brother just bought a 1990 supercharged T-BirdandI noticed that ithad a 3.8L just like my Mustang Convervible. I was wonderingif I track one down in a junk yard and strap it on my '99 v-6Mustanginstead of dropping 4 grand on noe that might fit right. And if it would work what would I need to adapt it?

For the 3.8L question - the M90 will NOT fit the newer 99-04 3.8L cars do to the newer style heads. You can use the M112 from the Cobra though. Go poke around the V6 section for more info. $2800 for the set up.

I think you mean LARGER crank pulley. A smaller one would slow the blower down, resulting in a loss of power.

You're right, I was thinking of the supercharger pulley, in which caseyou would want a smaller one and a larger crank pulley. Thanks for the correction Lil

No problem - just checking. I've seen some guys swear up and down an underdrive crank pulley will free up hp on supercharged applications just like with N/A use.
