make sure the fuel pump you use is for a returnless system. Typically people stick with the focus pump on a 99+ car .
it is thanks dude
ok so I ordered the little offset bracket...anything else?
I have a fuel pump, intercooler, injectors, maf, stock procharger bov, offset bracket, and 99-04 2v bracket...
What about spark plugs? Should I upgrade the BOV? I know alot of you guys do. I am also installing an edlebrock intake, and longtubes. All tips, advise, opinions are well appreciated

If you don't have any of the other mounting hardware to mount the bracket to the block you may want get that from procharger as well. Idler pulley, spacers and other nuts, bolts and washers.
spark plugs: NGK TR6 part number 4177...they are cheap on rockauto.com.
as far as upgrading the bov you should be fine...I think you said your planning to run 10 lbs. When you said stock procharger bov it's the black metal one? That one should be okay...if you upgrade you'll need to have a flange welded to the pipe as well.
yeah thats the one... I dont have any of stuff you mentioned above. damnit lol so when i call them just aske for the mounting hardware, idler pulley, spacers, and nuts??? all I have is the head unit and the main bracket. and ill grab those plugs tomorrow thanx.
Yeah, they will know exactly what you need...just tell them you only have the head unit and the bracket. They should be able to send you everything else. I would tell them what supercharger pulley you are running (it should have a number on it) and tell them you also need the idler pulley to go with the supercharger pulley you have. I think the idler pulley will vary in size depending on what size supercharger pulley you run. The larger the supercharger pulley the smaller the idler pulley and vice versa.
Oh and don't forget to tell them you already have the offset bracket just so you don't pay for that again!
Your also probably going to need a belt although I'm not sure what size for your setup. You can get Gates belts on rockauto.com also.
I was in the same boat as you trying to piece it all together...I had to call them a few times and place a couple orders (once because they messed up my order).
good shit, thank you... Ill order it all in the morning. I dnt want all the plumbing so I dont think that stuff will be very expensive. I think im going to run a filter right off the front of the blower instead of down near the fender well... what do you think?
here is a link where it was discussed and a pic

yeah, it shouldn't be all that much. I think I spent $70 on the hardware I needed but that included the $30 offset bracket that you already have. I didn't need the idler pulley though either.
do you not have the inlet pipe and filter? My kit didn't come with one but I got lucky and found one on a local forum for $35. It was for a mach 1 but it worked on my GT. I priced it out with Procharger and it was $170 for the pipe and filter. May as well just buy a power pipe.
I wouldn't run just the filter...the procharger pipe has a bung for the bov recirculation. The stock procharger valve is meant to be recirculated.

no i dont have it. why didnt you need the idler pulley? ok good to know (about the bov)...

mine had the idler pulley that I needed already.
Something else that may be helpful in your install is the tensioner assembly. It just so happened when I install my kit that my tensioner assembly had a flange that come off the front of it and interferred with the headunit bracket. Make sure yours is flat on the side facing towards the front of the car. Thats pretty cool how they set up that filter on the blower in that picture. I wonder how efective it is compared to the procharger intake they send with the kit. I was kind of wanting to go away from the powerpipe due to having to cut the fender but I may looking into this filter setup. I am sure k&n makes a filter that will fit. Oh and something else that just crossed my mind also, the lightning and cobra mafs are 4 wire units, meaning that they do not have the inlet air temp sensor build into them like your stock maf does. So on my car being it was an "04 model I had to pick up a sensor and harness and slice it in. Be sure to do so before you go to have it tuned. Just a few thoughs. I know when i was doing mine it seemed impossible to find the right information.
good point on the IAT sensor. My buddy found a bunch of these at a local junk yard...I believe he got them off a Ford Taurus. He spliced my MAF and we installed the IAT sensor in the intercooler pipe coupler just after the "S" bend that comes through the passenger fender.
mine is flat like the pic that redfire posted in post #5. as far as the lightning MAF goes, i wish they would mention that kinda shit when they sell it yo you. so i have to switch out the sensor or what? can i just splice mine like redfire did?
geez i dont know anything about this stuff. LOL damnit
REDFIRE- hey man u sure running the filter off the blower wouldnt work? if not ill just buy the power pipe. shit i might aswell get ALL THE PIPING from procharger if thats the case. whatcha think man?

You should be okay to splice it in...like I said my buddy did mine so you'll need to find out what wires are used for the IAT. Should be 2. The only reason I wouldn't run the filter off the blower is because the bypass valve you have needs to be recirculated back into the intake pipe. If you don't have the intake pipe you can't recirculate it. If you were to get prochargers race valve that could be vented to the atmosphere instead of recirculating you could make it work. There is still another vacuum line that also connects to the intake pipe but I believe you could just put a breather filter on the valve cover (not 100% sure about this). The race valve is pretty expensive and you'd also have to get a flange welded to the intercooler pipe for this. Although, if you ever boosted it more you wouldn't need to change this out in the future.
It's definitely expensive to get into piecing a kit together...but once you get it done it's all worth it and still less than a new kit.
Here is an image of the vacuum line (the left circle) I was talking about and also where the bypass valve recirculates (right circle).

i added my iat to my mass air plug on the outside 2 empty slots. if you use sct tuner or chip, you could get a 2400 meter which does more than the lightning. as far as fuel. 42 lb injectors, a kenne bell boost a pump is a lot of good insurance and pumps 03-04 cobra pump. read up on kenne bell's tech on kennebell.net lots of good info on there. they will tell you everything you need to know about what's what as far as fuel.
ok guys thanks... tryin to soak all this in. LOL man I have alot to learn
I didn't catch what year your car was, but '01 and prior already had I separate iat sensor I think, so if yours is '02 or newer just pick you up a iat sensor and harness from pretty much any ford vehical around that year model and it should work as long ass its a two wire sensor. Just spice it into the first and last wires in the maf harness. Should be a grey wire and a grey wire with a red stripe. As far as your fuel mods go, all you need is 42 pounders and I would highly recomend get a boosta pump and that should get you where you need to be.
^its an 02...and im running 42 and a 255lph pump for right now...
another question, i was going to buy a shortblock in the summer. while doing reaserch on corral and there was this guy making 700hp using his stock block. later im probably going to want more power like everyone esle, im thinking with just a forged rotationg assem instead of spending the money for entire shortblock setup like the guy on corral.net did. how much power can I run? Im not going to get crazy and smash around town everyday, I just want to be able to hold the power if and when i decide to step on it.

Oh, and you can run your bypass to the atmoshere. You don't have to recirculate it back to the intake. As far as your bottom end goes, you don't have to buy a complete short block if you don't want to. Your block is not a weak link. It will hold a considerable amount of power, probibly far more then 700. Your internals are the weak part. built it up with a cobra crank shaft, and some forged rods and pistons. Your heads will not get you there either though. You will probibly have to opped for some patriot or trickflow heads and some decent blower cams to get you there. It take a lot to make that much power.
