BOUGHT A PROCHARGER-what other mods do i need I broke down (and the bank lol) and bought a procharger I was just curious if there are any helpful items that will help me utilize the power without tearing up the bird, I have read numerous stories and been told that the factory 10bolt doesnt last very long and most people upgrade to the 12bolt , but I was told by my performance shop that if I keep it simple and dont slap a set of slicks and let my lead foot hammer down on the pedal that my factory 10bolt will be fine being that my car is an automatic and not a manual, I want the horsepower but it is a daily driver and I just want to hold my own with a few cocky drivers in my town and I know that the unexpected things that you dont plan on happen will happen but I want to make sure I do what i can to to save some $$$ any info would be much appreciated

If you purchased the complete system including fuel pump, injectors and Predator then consider adding a wideband to the car. While the Predator is not as powerful as a stand alone tuning suite it is a powerful tool in its own right and you can optimize the tune for your setup. Unfortunately you can't log with the GM tool but you can view real time data...take a friend along.
The as delivered ProCharger tune is good for about 450 rwhp in a bone stock car on a Mustang dyno with a stick and 7 psi. Expect a bit less with the auto.

BOSS APPROVED!

"and let my lead foot hammer down on teh pedal"...
ha, that's inevitable man... you're gonna hammer it more and more, the more power/fun you have with it... you're gonna want the 12-bolt... and if you think you'll go REAL big someday, i think alot of guys will suggest a 9"
