What’s going on everyone! I have a few questions about which route to go on my Mustang and what supporting mods would be needed. I have a base 24 GT and heading to 3 years of ownership with it. My car is mostly stock besides suspension upgrades I made for the car to handle better on the streets, back roads, but I’m now thinking about adding headers and going with a 93 tune, or going with the stage 1 procharger setup.

My questions are is it worth doing just headers and 93 tune? I already have an AWE touring catback. What would the expected HP/TQ gains be?

Would it be better to go the Procharger stage 1, and add whatever options I’d want/like? I’d most likely speak to someone before I end up making the purchase. As for the Procharger set up I’d also most likely go with a 93 tune. I know E85 makes the most gains but I’m not interested in being the fastest, or getting every single HP out of my car since it’s mainly a street driven car on weekends or nice weather. I am leaning more towards Procharger but would like to know what other supporting mods I’d need, and what to expect if supercharging? I’ve had a few mustangs but never once modified anything on the Coyote platform and most I’ve ever done was tune and headers on one of my older cars and that was a blast. I just really love the look and sounds the Procharger makes, and would like to make it a bit quicker.

Also I did try to find some of these answers online and on the forums but never quite found an exact answer.

If you’re dead set on keeping it on 93 than just leave it alone or put headers on it.

not much gain tuning it for 93 and you definitely don’t want to run boost on 93, E85 isn’t about “making the most gains” it’s about cooler burn and being able to tolerate spark without knock

Skip the headers and go straight for the ProCharger Stage 1 Intercooled P-1X Complete Kit. A 93-octane tune with headers yields only 20–40 extra HP, whereas a complete Stage 1 ProCharger adds a massive 325+ HP on pump gas while delivering the exact whistle and look you want.

Hmmm that makes sense never really knew what the benefit of E85 was just knew you would make more power. Would I have to test to make sure the E85 around me is actually what I’m getting? I’ve read that sometimes it’s not even E85.

I don’t know where you live, I’m in Michigan and we have a whole facebook group that tests and post various stations quality pretty regularly.

Just an idea to look into

I’m in Texas. I did check to see if there are nearby gas stations with E85 and had like 5 near me. I’ll definitely look into it. Are there any cons to E85 besides mileage? Would I need to upgrade anything with the fuel system?
