Mavrk_Mustang- This is starting to sound like someone you work with is a Chevy guy and is feeding you a line of crud about your Mustang to try to convince you that it's not as good as it is because he doesn't want you whooping his butt at the track. Whoever it is that's giving you your info (classmate, Big 'O') shouldn't be lifting the hood on a vehicle, let alone be giving advice and info on one and I sure wouldn't let him touch my car for so much as a spark plug change.

If I were running a $14,000 crate engine with 20-25psi, cranking out 1200hp, I probably would, but I think a good share of those are already blueprinted. For my v6...nah. Unless you're planning to try and run a ridiculous boost pressure and have the money for a complete engine teardown and rebuild with super beefy parts, why bother.
As far as I know, even the Calloway Corvettes, with dual turbo, running 900-1000hp aren't mapped and blueprinted.
If you get it locally dynotuned as opposed to using a canned tune for your supercharger, you'll be able to squeeze out another 10 or so hp 'cause every vehicle is a little different and they can't perfectly tune it from half a country away.

is it totally nessisary to have your motor mapped and blue printed and professionally tuned at a shop after you install the S/C?
I sure hope not.Mine (Xcharger) is running fine and I dont have any plans to MAP it. I am going on the premise that it is tuned,by BamaChips and that the tune is in the parameters that best suit my driving /red ligh challenges requirements.
As was mentioned if I had the big bucks crate engine it might be different.
Its a daily driver/ hobby car not a money making racer project,,,I believe in the K.I.S.S. theory here.
yea....but a local dynotune would do good... im only lookin for 8psi but i have all kinda of stuff i need to do before any FI, just tryin to get the jist of the issue... so basically if i install the S/C myself the car will run, it would still be smart to get it tuned on a dyno? or could i not even go to a dyno and buy a tune from bama and it be the same thing as goin to a dyno run? still kinda confised i guess

The x-charger comes with 2 tunes custom made by Bamachips. If you get 340hp (I think that's the 2.8 10psi pulley) out of it you might be able to get 350 if you then get it fine tuned at the local dyno shop. It'll cost you $300-$400 dyno time to get that extra 10hp over what came with with the tune in the kit.

oh ok....well i already have a livewire tuner, does the bama tunes still come with the package?? haha and is it gonna be safe to run 10psi on a stock auto no loc diff?

One of the options is to get the x-charger without the tuner. He'll email the tunes to you to put in your tuner. Check out explorerexpress.com and send Doug at bamachips.com an email to get the details.
The auto is the same one in the GT's. You're only going to putting out 40 more hp over the stock GT. Won't hurt the tranny or you'd be seeing all kinds of posts here from unhappy GT owners with autos.
Yeah you'll be doing a LOT of one wheel burnouts. I already am with just what I have so after the x-charger I'll most likely be putting a Detroit locker or whatever fits best in the Mustang in the rear end.

You're looking at $4000-$7000 depending on brand and options. The more power you want, the more expensive it gets. As you increase the power (boost) you'll also start running into problems (fixable with more money) of having to beef up your engine to handle it.
Cheapest: non-intercooled
More expensive: air to air intercooled (more boost)
Even more expensive: water intercooled (even more boost)
Don't know that a fully intercooled supercharger is worth it for the v6. You'd have to spend a lot of money to beef up the engine to handle the boost available from the more expensive supercharger. Lots of guys have done it but at that point I'd think it would be cheaper to trade it in on a V8. I'm sure a few folks here will chime in with info that are running them.

Why is the water intercooled(shouldn't that be aftercooled) more boost than air to air?
For the X-charger, are there any other mods to the V6 that need to be done to handle the increase in power? Does it really pull the V6 up to 340 HP? I'm starting to be very tempted after hearing this...
