The simple answer to your questions is to find out if the Ford Performance kit is sold in your country. Then you can just have Ford install it, have warranty, and know your bottom end will be fine.

thanks buddy , any reason why , is this a common kit used by mustang owners

You will get different answers to your questions from everybody you ask. Alot of it is personal preference and opinion.

For #1 I would research the pros and cons of all the available systems, look at some dyno graphs and make your own decisions on which one you think is better. Personally I would recommend Procharger or Whipple. Whipple will have instant power delivery down low, Procharger will build boost with RPM. Personally I went with a wastegated Procharger. I liked that Procharger had low IATs, no heat soak issues, but added a wastegate to give it similar/sooner power delivery like a Whipple. best of both worlds, for me.

#2 I cant help with, but I would recommend Terry/Team Beefcake Racing if he offers international shipping. He has great packages/pricing and excellent customer service. [MENTION=10926]beefcake[/MENTION].

#3. Again, up for debate. But overall the Coyote is very strong and responds well to boost. The weakest link is the OPG/CG (Oil pump gears and crank gear). Which can shatter with raised RPM and power, although rare, it can be seen as cheap insurance to get it replaced as if they do go, it will cost you your engine. I upgraded them.

What trans do you have?

thanks for the advise , I have manual trans buddy
one question I forgot to ask is what kind of bhp would I expect to get after fitting a wipple to my s550 if everything else is stock

head to the UK section and ask one of the many charged people in there. think mac has the biggest one with 800+ but there's a few others with various levels, there's also a couple with roush chargers etc the only thing you won't really find on UK spec cars is the twin turbo kits as they require a lot of custom exhaust work to make fit and nobody really bothers (although personally I'd love a twin turbo kit if one of the yank suppliers would actually help make one for a UK spec)

Should be somewhere between 600-700rwhp. Add ~15% for bhp.

You may need to upgrade your clutch eventually after supercharging.

I've got a Mustang with a Whipple and it also had a Procharger before the Whipple. I prefer the Whipple. It will produce instant torque, but the gas mileage will be worse. A Procharged car can get close to stock fuel economy if you stay out of the rpm's, my Whippled car gets about 5 mpg's less than it did with the Procharger.

I would do oil pump gears and half shafts at the bare minimum with a supercharger. Roush Charger will be similar to the Whipple in performance characteristics.

FYI, Americans don't use the word "buddy" a lot. That's more of a Canadian thing.
