If you're going to be putting in a S/C, don't even bother playing with your air filter or a CAI system right now... You won't be able to use it with the S/C...

fastfilly69, Thank You.. I will be posting picts.. Take'n picts as it transforms, i believe, will make me appreciate it more and the money i spent..

What other odd ball things i can do to gain the 450 hp i'm looking for?? Supercharger and High boost pressure pulley should put me around 445 hp.. Looking for the 450 or a bump more..

Honestly I would skip the Rouscharger. I would say 440rwhp would be alot from what I have seen. That blower is basically max'd out efficiency wise with the 4.6. I dont say this to be mean or that I think mine is the best or anything it is just true and the Math backs it up. They just cant flow enough air, and they arent a real compressor, they are a mover. I would just do tons of research before you spend your hard earned money.

With a T/S blower like the Whipple you can make alot more power much more efficiently, and it runs alot cooler. You could make 440rwhp with a whipple at 8psi easy. I am making 420 with a 91 octane canned whipple tune and an 8psi pulley. With a 93 octane dyno tune I should be able to pick up 20 more hp easy.

Other than that I love the look of the 427R but those wheels are expensive. $500 without tires each . If they were cheaper I would already have them.

Good luck.

MustangGT0405, thats what we are here for, opinions and options on these things.. I looked around and if they are getting $500 a pop on the wheels, they can keep them.. I got mine less than $375 SHIPPED.. http://www.monsterfordperformanceproducts.com

I'v still got a while before i add the Supercharger.. I'll do some more research.. Out of the Roush, ya can get 445, pre-underpulleys.. If i fully decided on the 427R theme, which i am, would it make sense to have a Roush bodykit and not the Supercharger to go with it?? I already run 93 octane in my Mustang.. I'll do more research about the superchargers.. If i can get a Roush at a really great price, i'm all for it.. The Warranty is a plus to.. But, like i said, i'll do some more research.. Thanks for your imput..
