These are two links for prochargers. I probably wouldn't be looking into getting a supercharger if I didn't know that a procharger was a supercharger...[&:]

Two, with questions like you are asking, it's obvious you are in over your head when it comes to attaining what you want. Stick to modding the motor you have. Learn as you go. It's the best route to go.
You are coming off the wrong way. We are just trying to help you by answering the questions you have.
I already said that I didn't mean you had a ****ty car. I meant it in a different sense. I was trying to answer your questions the best that I knew how and then when the guys that have a lot more experience and know-how with cars than me try to answer your questions you don't want to listen to them either. Maybe you should learn to appreciate what you have first and then look into modding it some more.

Mods cost money. Therefore more mods=more expensive. For example your car is "cheap" compared to lets say ssstangs or any other member with a lot of money into their car. Its not to put down your car or say that it looks tacky or anything.

No i didnt take none of it the wrong way..i know you meant a cheap"er" mustang instead of buying the more expensive GT body basicly, i was was just statin that having mods doesnt make your car worth more, at least were i live your insurance dont pay for the aftermarket parts if you total your car...
You are taking it completely the wrong way. I don't think any V6 owner here would EVER make fun of someone for buying a V6 and wanting to modify it.
You have very minimal modification to your car (according to your sig line). None actually cost that much to do - hense the term "cheap" was used. They are all mods that are a good start and something people attempt to do one their own to learn about their cars. You are now asking about a pretty major modification - and an "expensive" one at that. It's not something you should attempt without researching what it is you are doing. If you don't have a proper understanding of what you are doing, there is a great chance you blow up the car, or even worse hurt yourself or someone else.
We are trying to help you, but with some of the 'ideas' you have put out there, it's becoming clear you don't have enough information in your hands. The first thing you wanted to do was swap in a 5.0L. Why? Probably (just my guess) someone told you the 5.0L was the best mustang motor. That was very true, back in 1992.The idea of the V8 being better because it's bigger is just wrong. In 2008, we know better. The 3.8L block is proven to be stronger (stock part for stock part) when compared to the 302 block Ford used. On it's own, it's not too far behind the power of the bigger brother. It has some cool design tricks from Ford that make it better than the 5.0L as well. Ford really should have looked into split port V8s
The cheapest way to make more power (and probably your best option) is to play with the motor you already have. The best thing to do if you want to make 350hp or less, it just to toss on a super charger or turbo kit and be done. Before you start rattling off huge numbers for hp, go ride a 350 hp Mustang. It will be enough for you. Figure out what you want for performance FIRST: Fun street car? Drag car? Road course? Fast and Furious? From there, do some reading and talk to people who actually have the types of motor set ups you are looking at. Figure out what set up is best for you. There isn't one 'end all' type power adder. Each has it's uses where it will out perform another.
Does that help?
