Default SUPERCHARGING!!!!!

Soo excited but I need some help.
I'm buying a vortech supercharger for my '99 3.8L V6 mustang off of my friend for $400.00.
Now I know that I have to get a new rearend. And when I do I'm puttin 4:10 gears with a t-lock, and a new clutch. But I don't know wat kind of clutch. And is there anything else I should get?
I'm on some what of a tight budget.
Thanks for the help!

You dont need a new rear end yet, but you DO need a new fuel delivery system. SVT Focus uel pump, 42 pound injectors and a dyno tune will do ya. Thats what you do need NOW.

But won't the stock rear end get messed up? Clutch also?

Stock rear end, Yes. Get a Detroit True-Trak, and some gears. 4.10's are always nice. As for the clutch, you might want to upgrade it if you wish. But I'd burn it up before doing so. Why waste some good meat on the disc? Use it til it wears out, then replace it.

If he only runs say, 7 psi through his Vortech, then the rear end can handle it stock. If hes getting an 11psi model, then harvs right. You need some form of a locker(detroit or auburn, detroit lockers last longer though), and the fuel delivery mods!

any kind of F/I i would go with a detroit true trac, which is an LSD not a locker, and has no clutches to wear out like an auburn or t-lok

that 7.5 rear is good for some 350rwhp...if you only have the vortech you are more than safe
