The X is a good choice unless your a horsepower junkie.

I thought that the x-charger was the only supercharger for the V6.

most def worth the money. you may not want axle busting power...you may be a daily driver. i dunno...but ranging in different size belts....you can change your boost pressure from 7-8psi 3.0 belt(270hp or so) to 9-10psi 2.8 belt(280-300hp) to the new 11.5+ 2.6belt(300hp+...with the soon to be released intercooled x charger).my opinion, wait for the intercooled one to come out for sale. wont be long and with lower engine temps and cooler air...you can run a lot more efficient and keep your motor safe. THE BIG DAWBACK....theres a lot of stuff thats *reccomended* before you bolt on all that power. youre looking at new gears, trac lock(if you dont get that youll spin one tire forever, end up buying a new right rear every month), you could knock those both out with one stone and get an 8.8 rear end with your desired gear set and trac lock already installed(cost about 300$ more than beefin up the 7.5 rear end) lcas and uca is optional, for added chassis strength subframe connectors(optional), aluminum ds, and youll need a tuner for all your tunes also.(that is a must have, but u can buy the x with a tuner in a package) if you have any more ?s or concerns feel free to pm me or keep asking on this thread. for your exhaust ?, you dont have to get a new one...but usually when u plan on stuffing more air into your engine, gotta get it out of there more efficiently.

3.0,2.8 & 2.6 are pulley sizes NOT belt sizes. You do not need subframe connectors.

Whether your auto or manual I don't believe they are required. Though you are going to want a tloc so you might as well change the gears at the same time.

The gears aren't the expensive part. The install for a tloc is what the expensive part. Since they will be paying someone to install the tloc anyways, you might as well have them change the gears at the same time to save some extra money incase you plan to change them later.

I personally would change my gears if you are getting a tloc anyways.

its honestly in my opinion a better choice to go with the 8.8 that already has your desired gear set and lock. it will run you about 3-400$ more, but you get a stronger axle and a guaranteed no whine. with gear and lock install..there is always a chance something might make some noise. some guys live with it, others cant. just depends on your shop guy. the subframe connectors are just a safe and relatively(for the 05+models anyway) inexpensive way to stiffen your car up and reduce and body "twist". if youre going to constantly be launching hard...your mustangs body will tend to twist..sometimes causing wrinkles in the finish, paint, and even dents. i have not seen it on v6's, but i have seen it on GT's that push slightly higher numbers. its notorious for older stangs. just from what i have seen, im going to play it safe and keep my baby looking good and performing at its best

If I do not get the 5.0 I think I will buy the super charger. So I need a 8.8 rear end and 3.73 gears. anything else. with my tune right now can a just download another tune to add the 8.8 gears and charger to what is already there?

you can change your gear ratio within the tune u already have. return to stock...select your tune again...go into user adjustment options and change your gear ratio to 3:73 and let it do the rest. no problem! also...some might suggest an aluminum drive shaft. again its not required its just good to have. could be something u get before or after the s/c.
