Hi, i just recently bought a 2002 3.8L V6 mustang. It has 82,000 miles on it and i was hoping to mod it out. Where should i start? i was eventually hoping to put a ProCharger supercharger on it. what else should i upgrade first so it can handle the supercharger? thanks

I would look into doing some suspension work first because all that power will be wasted if you can't put it on the pavement.

Suspension work, Rims/Tires, Drivetrain, and Rear-end work. Doing any of those things will make a difference in the car and will enable the car to handle the huge power increase.

Well man, if your like me. You dont adsactly have the money for the supercharger yet. If you want to get a start on performance, best thing is.. the basics. Cold Air Intake, Exhaust Work, Suspension Work, Underdrive Pulleys, and to feel the most power difference... Ford T-Loc Differential, and either some 3.73 or 4.10 gears. thats just to start out. for your engine to be able to take the power, u need to re-enforce your engine parts. SuperSixMotorsports has a stage 2+ and stage 3 power pac that will set u up fine.

I agree with everything you said but the UD Pulleys as they will come off anyway when he goes blown.
