Alright well i'm interested in adding a few more ponies to my mustang and looking at superchargers not interested in prochargers i like the idea of top mounts and the looks much better. Something along the lines of this 2005 Mustang V6 X-Charger Supercharger Kit - HI-PO Plus the reason i am posting this is because i have most of these parts already, Fuel pump, intake, exhaust, fuel inject. ect. My main question here is what head unit is needed (where do i get the one from the picture) and how much work is it really to do. I do have lifetime tunes from American Muscle so im not worried about tuning but im not about to spend 4800 on a Supercharger system when all i need is a head unit. Any ideas on what head unit is used along with the spacer plate belt pully ect. (i do work for a sheetmetal company so can make spacer plate if i can get the dimensions) :headbang: SUMMER TIME MEANS TIME FOR UPGRADES!

Ive done more research and found out that the M90 fits but what is this spacer plate that i keep reading about and will i need a cowl hood?

M90 EATON supercharger...........No no cowl needed fits under stock hood. For your Mustang I recommend PROCHARGER. Procharger units are used by Shelby on the current V6 Mustang.:beer:

I know you don't want to hear this but the thing to do is probably get the kit. You would have to make your own intake manifold and TB housing in order to make it work plus whatever plates and pullies you would need to buy in order to make it work. Besides, the MP90 isn't the most efficient supercharger and about 85% of all the people I know that added it have switched to the Xtreme kit or regretted doing it. If I was going to add a supercharger to my V6 it would have to be a Paxton or Vortec kit or just go turbo, you can get 375HP with roughly the same amount of boost as with the X-Charger and is somewhat cheaper. Or you can go with a Turbo charger and fab up all of your own pipes but don't cheap out and get some crappy On3 turbos.

I would also spend the money to get it tuned by a reputable shop. With the canned tunes, there is no way they can tell what your a/f ratio is or what the timing should be at, they can only guess to what you will probably need for a tune. Just my opinion.
