just a quick point. On the v6's you can't just slap a turbo or a supercharger on the engine. You said that it might blow out, the engine can take it, but you will probly need a new rear end. If you were going to do a s/c get an 8.8 rear end and get 4.10s. Also, for a s/c injectors, fuel pump, fuel regulator and other stuff too. There are a couple of great places to get em.

I am still on a 7.5 rear end. If it aint broke don't fix it.
and any s/c or turbo will atleast put you at 280rwhp+ which will make the car a possible 12sec car right off the bat. hell the standards run 15.5 dead stock 99-04.

you have the 7.5 rear end. yes you can put 3.73's in it, but you still wont have posi.
the 8.8 is stronger and you can use the t-lok which is Ford's version of Limited slip/Posi lock. Posi lock means no one tire fire...as in, when you hit the gas with the Posi, both rear wheels get the power instead of just one like with the stock 7.5 rear end.

no both will, the GT 8.8 rear end came with a Ford posi/tlock, where as the 7.5 did not.

He's a liar, your 8.8 is still a 1 wheel peel, send it to me, I'll get rid of it for you. I'll even pay shipping.

let me get this straight
guy gets beat by girl
guy realizes girl owns a car with more HP
guy looks at spending >$5000 so he can beat this girl he will never see again and re-affirm his masculinity...
Moral of the story: girls are expensive.
