[QUOTE="Fast_351, post: 16544673, member: 200202"] Hello all! I am about to step in the modern boosted/fuel injected world. I have been around Mustangs for 30+ years, drag raced an 89 with a 351 into the 10s, and in 2011 finally stepped into the modern era. I have a 2011 Mustang GT w/Brembo package, and a stick. I've done a handful of suspension mods that really make the car handle, but have always kind of hung back on adding power. I've been toying with the idea of a PD blower for a LONG time, and finally pulled the trigger. I have a VMP Gen3R kit coming my way! My car is very low miles (<10K). It has never been to the track, although I won't rule out an eventual trip, my goal is for this thing to be a fun street car. I'm not looking to run 8s or even put a rollbar in. I am going to run the 92mm (biggest) pulley. Not sure I'll ever switch. I'll work with VMP to get the tune right. So questions I have for my new setup I'll be putting in this winter. 1) Is it worth adding a boost-a-pump? I'm getting conflicting answers, so my guess is it's a safety thing only. I don't mind spending the money but unless it's absolutely needed I'd just as soon skip it and spend money elsewhere... 2) OPG/CS (oil pump gear/crank sprocket). I'm not afraid of the work, it doesn't look that bad. I am leaning towards doing it since I'll be halfway there on the teardown anyway. Seems like cheap insurance. Any suggestions? Looking at the MMR kit right now. 3) Clutch. I know the stocker isn't long for this world with a power adder. I don't plan on doing a bunch of clutch dumps on sticky tires, but if I'm going to tear it apart to replace it I might as well stick in something I'll never have to worry about. Looking at McLeod RXT. Yay or overkill? 4) Driveshaft. This one seems easy. That heavy 2 piece looks like a disaster. Any favorites? LONG TERM: This is a gen 1 coyote. Will it live with the lowest boost from a Gen3R? I am guessing somewhere in the 550-600 HP range. If I do end up upgrading it'll probably be a self installed rotating assembly consisting of a boss crank, forged rods and pistons. Anyone have a favorite? Seems like MMR has what I want, any others I should look at? Thanks in advance! I am looking forward to this winters' project. Pic for attention: [ATTACH=full]1678889[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
