Default upgrade advice

Just bought my 99 gt about 2 months ago and i want to put a lot of stuff in it. I was wondering what i should put in it first. Also eventually i'n going to put nitrous and a supercharger in it and I was wondering if I needed to build up my engine to be able to use them with out blowing my engine so if you guys could let me know about all that stuff it would be great.

4.10 gears and a set of D/R`s will make a huge difference.

do you want to use both or just one? if you want both the engine needs a build... with a blower at 8psi of boost or maybe 10 you can run on a good tune. or you can run with a 125 shot of nitrous... but with both i dont think would be worth it... if i was you, i would do gears or open up the exhuast first. if you plan on doing a blower or nitrous soon, i would go with some 3.73's or 3.90's for gears.. i wouldnt do 4.10's with one of those power adders. is your stang a 5spd?

gears, stall convertor, shift kit.
or at least gears and a tuner

How much hp are you planning. about 450+ you will need forged internals.
