The bad he ran into. Apparently the 96-98 Mustangs aren't supported real well. He has had problems finding a tuner. He bought a nice one but it doesn't support all the functions for these cars. Another problem he has encountered, couldn't find a better fuel pump.

Dig in and do a little research. Have fun with the build.

Sounds like a fun setup.

I think it would be perfect for PS.
Those 4.6 modular engines need to be revved to get up into the powerband, but with a stick that should make it a lot easier.

The factory T-45 trans is stronger than the 94-95 T-5 trans, ( or so I have read) so that's a plus.
4.30 gears minimum.
( I run 4.56 with my '95 5.0 setup/28 inch tires )

You might look into stepping up to 24lb. injectors and one of those handheld tuners.
Bigger pump in the tank is easy. Plenty of those around.

Going to start with upgrading shifting forks in tranny(heard they are the weak points)already broke 1-2 shift fork...then cold air box, 26 inch tires and 411 gear along with a set of cut-outs . then see were i'm at at that point .I'm getting pretty excited about this deal now ..
