Default What else might I need with my blower install?

I figure I will need a boost gauge and a fuel pressure gauge. But I dunno whether to get the gauge cluster replacement that has 2 extra places for gauges or the pillar pods. I wonder which one is easier to install. Also, I would like to put in a shift light. Where can I get a shift light that will easily mount to the distributorless ignition system? I have a shift light in my truck that I can polly pull out easily enough but but i doubt it will work without a distributor. Will I have to get some type of expensive arse adapter to plug in somewhere to make it work? Also what other gauges or what else should I get along with the blower install. I figure I will install a 75mm accufab tb and a c&l plenum to make it that much better. And later on adding a water/methanol injections kit. What do you all think?

Procharger said that I didnt need a bigger maf until I go over 8psi. Whether I have my stock maf reset for 42lb injectors or get a bigger maf set for 42 lb injectors, what difference is it going to make overall? Is it actually a different sensor or just a bigger housing that your stock on goes into after being recalibrated? And as short as the pipe before the blower housing is so short, how is the power pipe going to help?

The power pipe adds 1-2 psi of boost, and I have a 90mm lightning maf for my 2001 mustang gt that also has 42lb injectors. The 90mm lightning maf was already tuned for the 42lbs injectors it helps for a better tune, also if you go to the lightning set up on at 2002 and higher you have to split you wireing harness where it connects into the maf. In the 99-01 I know of and lightnings the ati sensor is seperate from the maf and on the later models mustangs like the 02's the ati sensor is in the maf. Lucky for me I have a 2001. As for you cranking up the boost over 8psi on a stock 4.6 gt with a compression ratio of 9.1 is bad news, ask procharger they will tell you that. The recommend the 12psi pulley with motor work. Your pushing you luck with any thing higher then 8psi, try saving for forged internals then crank up the boost.
