First off I have a 98 TransAm with a Ls1 and it has some mods and runs in the 12's.I've owned acouple of Ta's and had good luck with 2 of mine running bottom 11's on motor,high 9's on spray.Now I've owned a couple of Mustangs in the past,but nothing supercharged.A guy with a 97 Mustang gt wants to trade.It has a Procharger (i believe the ds1c im not 100% sure) with the intercooler(not sure what stage intercooler)says it has the 12lb pulley.Car has 102k and the charger was recentally installed.They hand tuned it with a SCT handheld programmer.The internals are all stock.Car has built auto with a 3500 stall,shorty headers,xpipe,slp loud mouth exhaust,30lb injectors,373 gear and some visual mods.I'v done some research on this sight on the Procharger and alot of people here have some good info on it.My question is what kind of rwhp will the car make and will the internals hold up with 12lbs of boost on a stock motor.I like the way the car looks but don't want to go slower than my ta.Any input will be appreciated greatly.

Honestly, I'm a Ford guy and always have been..been around mustangs a little bit now, and hate chevrolet's, but, with 102k miles thats a little bit rough, especially if they just put the procharger on it..Honestly, i'd save up some money, and tr ade the car into a dealer or something of that sort, and start with a more of a fresh motor and car, something you can mod yourself and then procharge..it'll be a lot better when you know whats all done to it and how the car runs. like i said, you may be getting in over your head with 102k miles.

Also up to 99 I believe it was, they didnt have PI heads on the 4.6 until the 99-04 models came out.
