Question what next? Twin Turbo, Twinscrew, or Procharger? or ...... ? please help

So I have a bunch of mods on my stang which are:

1) JLT CAI
2) BBK 62mm Throttle body
3) Spydershaft DS (with safetly loop)
4) 3.73 ring 8.8 pinion
5) Roush full suspension kit
6) Bama tune
7) Steeda Charge-Motion Control Plates
8) 2.5" Borla Cat-backs
9) BMR LCA
10) BMR adj. UCA
11) BMR Relocation bracket
12) SSR rims with 255/40 R19 ... 285/35 R19 Pilot Sport 2 rubber
13) Brembo shelby brakes


I have been reading alot, and watching alot of video's of FI stangs ... but, each one has his own theory, or love their setup.

* I'm keen on the STS Twin Turbo setup (on my stock block) ... I dont know what PSI should I run, and how much should RWHP should I expect.

* The Twinscrew is great as it gives boots from low - high RPM, but I believe you will have a problem launching the car, you really need to practice and concentrate every time you want to launch the car .... right?

* The Procharger works like the Turbo, but the Twin Turbo Boosts earlier, but I hear turbos heat quickly and cant be used for a daily drive ... so I thought maybe the Procharger will do!?



I'm not touching the internals of the engine ... I guess this will be the last Power Mod I will have on my stang ... but its too confusing! ...


Also, what other supporting mods do I need to buy?


Can you suggest, or help me here!?

Problem is, where I live (Dubai, UAE) we dont have loads of FI stangs.
Ive seen the twinscrew on 2 stangs on the roll they are monsters, but get it to launch from zero not so good!
No Turbo charged stangs around here yet! (or maybe there are but not to my knowledge).


Thats why I want to know from your experience, as you may have been in different setups

Im confused why you say twinscrew isnt good from a 0 launch? The produce the most torque and pull the hardest off the line. If you want a good roll racer get a turbo.

True.
But because you get an enormous amount of torque from O RPM, you get your rear tires to keep on spinning and spinning until you reach to the end of your second gear!
Which means youre losing time!

Ah i was thinking in terms of a drag strip using drag radials. Twin screw to me feels just like one big engine. It really depends what are you planning on doing with the car? Just a daily fun driver or racing ect.
