Default Appropriate pak

I'm having a 4.2L Stroker kit, http://rpm-mustangs.com/cart/product...cat=280&page=1, installed into my 3.8L block. On top of all this i'm looking to install a SSM Stage 3 powerpak, http://www.supersixmotorsports.com/p...2PowerPaks.pdf, before my turbo, http://www.tmaturbo.com/streetkit.htm , install.

My question comes from the fact that SSM offers a 4.2L Powerpak for 99-up mustang and V6 F-150 but the only stage 3 pak for 94-98 mustang is for the 3.8L. Could i still use this pak or would i be SOL on getting the pak at all?

Oh, while you're at it, do the intake swap. A 99-04 intake will bolt right up to the 94-98s, you just need the swap kit. http://www.rpm-mustangs.com/ sells both the intake swap kit with the intake, heads, gaskets, wiring harnesses, throttle body, bolts, and vacume lines, or you can buy the kit without the heads and intake and get the stage 2+ kit for a 99+ and do the swap that way.

Your sure on the 2+? SSM shows that supercharged/turbo engines need stage 3, while 2+ is for auto and auto w/stall.

you could do a split-port conversion and really pick up some power. i did a stage 3 and it works really good.

Yea, but you're not F/I are you. 2+ is for auto with stall, and N/A manuals.

Yeah as of right now it's N/A but like i said i'm going F/I so wouldn't it make more sence to get a pak that can handle that ahead of time?

No, but you may, key word there, may experiance some weird problems with idel as that system is made for high flow intakes. Like I said, may, it's not guranteed because there is so much crap that goes on with airflow inside the intake. You should be fine, but remember, the 2+ is going to be perfect for you, even if you go F/I, you're not missing out on much over the stage 3.

Compcams'
