Default Bolt-on's with F/I

1. What kind of gains can be found with the bolt-ons with forced induction?

If I were to go with a TB/plenum upgrade for example, I would need to get retuned, so I might as well add a power pipe of some kind (i.e. Anderson or WMS) while I am at it. Will the gains be worth the cost of the parts plus the new tune? While I am getting it tuned, I might as well throw the gears in also so the speedo can be fixed as well. No matter what little thing I want to do, it seems to make the most sense to do everything since it needs to be tuned again.

Bottom line: Will the difference be worth it?

2. Are short tubes going to make a difference with F/I? I'm not buying a new midpipe and I'm still going to lower the car at some point so I think L/T's are out of the question. Again, the question is are the gains worth it since shorties are supposed to be as painful as L/T's.

of course the gains will be worth it, especially those gears

yes shorties will be worth it. stock manifolds are horrible when the car is stock let alone when you have FI

I have 3.73s in my Procharged Mustang and I love it. It's helps you get into the power band much faster and really throws you back in the seat when accelerating. I can't imagine what 4.10s must feel like!
