First thing I would do would put on a full bassani exhaust (Headers, O/R X, Catback) with a set of MILs. Then get a CAI, TB and plenum. After you get used to all that, get your supercharger put on.

At 80 my RPM's at at 3 grand...higher yes but not all that bad as far as wear and tear as most people would want you to believe. Think about 4 cylinder cars. My Probe cruises above 3 grand at 75 and it has 160k miles now so running at a higher RPM isn't wearing your car as long as you maintain it. I have 140K miles on the Stang and still going strong. Mine seems to run more efficiently at a little higher RPM plus you are out of the "drone zone" if you have an aftermarket exhaust.
Most people do go with 3.73's if they plan on supercharging but unless you plan on it real soon then like me you would get more bang out of the 4.10's (not saying 3.73's are a bad choice either). I'd like to supercharge one day but it's been nearly 4 years with my car and unless you have alot of bucks to throw around you may wind up sticking with what you have. I will say this about gears...my car used to drop dead at 4500 rpms...and that is not much of a usable range for this gear. Now that I have swapped the intake (you don't need that...you already have the PI) and put my cams in I've gained another 1000 rpms of usable power so now the gear is much more efficient.
3:90's are a good choice...I don't think FRPP makes any though.mineralgray01gt said:I thought about the 3:90's also. Anyone know where there is a video of those gears on a mustang? LOL I should probably get the 3:73's because of my foot Im new to my car so my foot is constantly in it.
