For the supercharger installation, we journeyed to Danny's Pro Performance in Keyport, New Jersey. Dan is a Mustang fanatic of the first order and putting power into the pony is something he excels at. Although there were quite a few parts to be installed, Dan was up to the task of giving us Camaro-smashing power.
During the installation, we ran into a few issues that stalled the project, but only until a remedy was easily found. Our Mustang had been equipped with a Hose Wizard R-134A retrofit air conditioning system. While it blew a frigid 38 degrees in the cockpit, the aftermarket Sanden compressor it utilized would not fit in the supplied mounting bracket. To avoid going through some major reworking we temporarily installed a factory compressor.

Before working on your car, disconnect the battery. We removed ours completely as the ProCharger kit will relocate it on the other side where the factory air filter box resides.

Dan Ryder of Danny's Pro Performance then proceeded to remove the gas tank so we could install the BBK 255-lph fuel pump. It also made installing the ProCharger pump easier. Removal is begun by removing the support straps, and then lowering the tank enough to disconnect the wiring harnesses.

Remove the trim ring by turning it and then slowly work the pump assembly out of the tank.

Here are some of the parts we received from Brothers Performance Warehouse. PN BBK 1607 will get you the 255 lph fuel pump and retails for $129.99. PN BBK 1706 is the billet aluminum fuel pressure regulator, which sells for $99.99.

The fuel pump needs to be spliced into the assembly wiring. Simply color code the wires and secure them with a good connecting device, as you don't want them to come loose. Install the assembly in reverse order of removal.

The ATI inline pump is designed to mount in front of the fuel tank and right behind the axle. It has the appropriate fittings to connect to the factory lines for a plug-in installation. Secure the unit using the supplied bolts.

Here is the pump mounted in its intended location. Notice the foam insulator around the pump. This keeps it quiet inside the car. In fact, both pumps were surprisingly whisper quiet.
The inline pump receives power...
The inline pump receives power via this harness and relay, which we secured with these neat plastic tie mounts. The red wire runs to the solenoid up front, the yellow wire runs to the pump, the green wire runs to the turn-on line in the stock harness and the black is grounded. Wiring the pump into the stock harness also takes advantage of the factory emergency fuel shutoff feature.

From there, we moved to the front of the vehicle and opened up the inner fenderwells to expose the washer fluid reservoir. This was removed and relocated to the opposite side.
