Just about everybodys kits (Vortec, Paxton, ProCharger, etc) come complete with everything you will need to install it on your car. Just make sure you don't get a "tuner" kit. Those kits usually are missing some of the parts that the "complete" kits have.

The systems come with FMU's. They boost fuel pressure to compensate.

to an extent. your only going to be able to put down the amount of power your motor will allow, odviously. the stronger the motor (pistons, rods, crank, compression ratio, etc.) the more power it will make.
need less to say, the more boost you try to put on a stock motor, the easyer it is to blowup.
do some more homework on poweradders (s/c, turbo, n2o) and find out which one you would like best. you may even want to build your motor up first, but to each their own. good luck.

pistons n rods are important. i dont know much about the "newer mustangs" as for what kind of internals they come with. but figure out all that first and see how much power you want to make in the end. if you only want 400hp than you'll be fine with all stock parts and nitrous or supercharged. 400hp is easy to come by now a days.

Main question is, what kind of power do you want?
