I completely agree, in the long run it'll actually become expensive since you'll spend more $$ replacing it and what labor needed to replace it. One of the main things I want to avoid is corrosion, right now with the stock headers every time I lift the hood and see those rusted headers jut bothers me, and I know they're designed that way but its stupid just bugs me. I know alot of the aftermarket headers are chrome coated but I know chrome isn't really high temp friendly, hence hearing that BBK has ceramic coated headers sounds brilliant, but does anyone else make ceramic coated headers?
How much can I expect from my v6

Ok that's good to know since I was looking at the Chrome ones. Ok so I got another question would my 7.5 rear be able to handle an xcharger with 3.73s and a posi ? Or would I need an 8.8 rear? I did a lot of internet reading online and it seems like some people say that an 8.8 is pretty much a must while others say it can be done.

I've had plenty of customers run 3.73swith a supercharger on the 7.5 without breaking. Most of them were automatics though, which tends to put less of a shock on the differential. If you want to race with slicks or get real abusive with drag radials then you need an 8.8. Otherwise you will probably be fine.
210hp is the rated stock version boost depended on what kind and whatever else u add can range 300hp to 405 hp (average) as far as rear end gearing goes' the best way i explain it how changes effect low end and up end torque is look at a super sprint dirt car ( big wing) they have quick change rear gears to match track condition since there's no transmission in them motor to flywheel yoke to drive shaft to rear end. the only way they can change upper speed or better corner speed is to change the gear ratio lol
Sounds more like he had a faulty T lok then it being all FRPP T Loks are fails, It is the most popular T Lok, and it in card from near stock to SC to NOs boosted, plus I doubt Ford would just wipe dust off a 30 year old LSD and give it off to the Mustang fandom, sure they're a company and make money but they aren't stupid and know this is an important market for them. AM just got Auburn but seriosuly thats track hardware and twice the FRPP.
He had 2 of them...
They never offered the 7.5 in any SC cars- the Tbirds used an 8.8 based IRS. The 3.8 Essex never had big support from FRPP. An example of this is that they offered SC kits for the 5.0 and 4.6, but did not offer one for the 3.8- even though it would have easily been done with the M90 from the Supercoupe, which bolts to the 94-98 singleport with minimal modifications.

Buying a used supercharger is almost always a headache in the end. Most people dont realize that the brackets alone usually sell for almost $1,000. If even just a few things are missing the "savings" from buying used disappears pretty quick.
This is a big problem for us as an install shop, because the people bringing us the used kits to install sometimes can't afford to buy the missing stuff and buy all the other little things you need to set it up right.
I'm sorry to say, but the only time I would ever recommend buying a used supercharger kit is if you already have enough money to buy a complete new kit. That way you are still OK when (not if) you have to lay out a little extra to fix something unexpected.
