Point blank is this: If you wanna mod a 94/95 Mustang you'd better be prepared to pay to have it tuned or start learning how to tune yourself.
Either way, you're gonna have to upgrade stuff like injectors, MAF, fuel pump, etc.. You can't use any of those item's costs to make one decision or the other because they're really necessary for a successful build either way you go.
I can tell you right now that Vortech is second to none when it comes to fit and finish of their products. They really do their homework and they're kits really are "bolt in and go" kits. My car ran and got me around when I first installed the blower, but a tune really made it come alive! The drivability was spot on without the tune also. If the cam doesn't get along with your computer, you'll have to have it tuned almost immediately.
I've heard all kinds of nightmares with KB blowers. They make an awsome posi blower, but I feel they left alot on the table when they designed the kit for our cars. Most of the time blown head gaskets with KB blowers are a result of the enormous amounts of heat they create as well as the low end boost that's hard to get out of in time to prevent damage. Also, on a street car or the track, if you don't have traction the guy in the next lane with the centri will walk right way from you while your tires are boiling!!
I've never installed H/C/I myself as a kit, but dealt with all of that individually. There is alot more involved in swapping heads and cams than there is installing a blower. The sound of a nasty cam in a Mustang is sweet music too! One of these days I'll do H/C/I on a 351 along with my blower, but for now I'm happy I went with an S trim first. I like it, it was a nice kit and I'm very satisfied with it's preformance!
