Congrats on the Mustang. I have a 3.8 too. Read the posts on the Small Ponies board there is a lot there. Also I have some post under power adders where people gave a lot of advice on superchargers and turbo for the 3.8. I think Turbo will get the most power by a lot across all the rpm band and the price is not a lot different than a supercharger after you get done with it from what I can tell. Have not done it myself but did a lot of dreaming and getting prices etc.

You will need to decide if you want to go fast in a straight line or not. There is a ton of work to be done if you want a pretty good suspension and brakes. See all the posts on Corner carver. Bottom end price of good suspension system will be almost $1000 installed. Of course there are drag/launch suspensions too.

Then there is the exhaust you will need to upgrade to true dual and so it goes

Is your stang a 5 speed or automatic? Either way there are significant upgrades to the transmission possible.

Oh and the wheels and tires and the new gears and the custom chip

How much money do you have to spend? That is going to have some impact too

And then there are the people who will say why do this to a 3.8 go buy a 1998 Cobra it will be cheaper.

This is just a start of the journey you are on. Good luck it is a lot of fun and this is the place to get some advice and meet some nice people.
