I have the Xcharger with the automatic. I put it on last in a series of upgrades in search of power. Started with a CAi and tune,headers,dual exhausts,LCAs',Aluminum D/S,Tloc and 3:73's(in the stock rear end)and Xcharger. I have been to the strip last year and ran in the high 13's and driven the Same car Across America with The Mustangs Across America Group.
Maybe I have been lucky or not but never a problem with the rear end.
I have a new Tru Fiber Hood and GT rotors up front
I have front brakes for purported better stopping,havent realy noticed a change..
Next and LAST is a cooling mist wetx injection.

sooo if I were you I would just get the xcharger 1st. See how things go and replace or up grade as needed. All these other goodies are just icing on the cake.

but it is better to lay dow two 100' strips of rubber than one

couldnt have said it any better. the best i got out of my 8.8 is feelin it wash out from underneath you when u launch hard...you dont get that with an open diff. i was at the track last night...with everything i have now...ran a 15.3(but my r/t was .6...oops) and out ran a mach 1 to the 60ft. i guess its nothing to brag about, i gotta work on my launches and tree timing, but im gettin there. i ran 16.4 completely stock so i guess iv dropped a whole second on bolt ons. still was dissapointed with the 15.3 and ordered an aluminum DS soon as i got home so i could really start pooling money for the X. im ready to rock now tho...just gonna sit on every ounce of money that i can till i have enough saved to buy it. my goal is 12's by the time im done.

Hope this helps man!

This may be a silly question but does this work on an automatic?

If you're more budget conscious (who isn't these days) the Vortech kit is a good option. But if you do get it, and especially if you already have a handheld programmer, get the tuner version of the kit. It's considerably cheaper, you just buy the 39LB fuel injectors separately. This is my advice because I got the full kit that came with a Diablo Predator and Vortech tune. The worthless Vortech tune is long gone and the Diablo is a doorstop Spend the money on a dyno tune or a VMP email tune, you'll be much happier.

As far as driving experience I'll tell you the Vortech will probably not come into play on your morning commute (unless you have a seriously heavy foot) and for that reason fuel economy isn't really affected. The non-intercooled kit has a stock 8 PSI boost level, think of it as gaining 80 top-end horsepower without really any increased low-end torque. For that reason your engine might live longer than it would with the X-Charger.

That's my 2 cents. Now give them back, I need money for laundry

Works fine on an automatic. The first 3 X-Charger installs were all automatics (mine was #004 and the first manual) Plenty X-cars since are autos (I'd bet they outnumber manuals by a fair bit.

Either will work with the "X" (or other supercharger setups)

I'd rather have that 80 hp come on down low where it can be enjoyed regularly. The X uses the same Eaton type setup put into factory supercharged cars from GM, Ford, Mercedes, etc there is no "wear issue".
