well, for one thing, if your gonna run a turbo, your gonna need to upgrade the fuel system the motor itself and among that, a good deal of work to make that power. your deff gonna need to upgrade the block, the stock 302 block cracks inthe 400-500hp range, so your best bet is to upgrade to a stronger block... your gonna need much better heads, stock heads are trash, a full exhaust, a larger intake, throttle body...

I think there is a sticky somewhere... but I may be wrong

MAX stock block handing is usually around 500rwhp, but people do run more....

I take it you have the budget for all of this ? Are you making this a project only car, or do you need to drive it often ? Those mods you listed arent the quickest to install. You'll also need a good dyno tune afterwards

Gears would be the first mod i would install. Do suspension work also. If your gonna have all that power you need it to hook up.

i assume that where you work or your business, must not work on a lot of mustangs, based on your lack of knowledge, but you got some serious work to do to get to 500 rwhp, pretty much what everyone else has said

If you have the funds get a 347 stroker kit, some good flowing heads ( AFR, partriot, edelbrock....etch) a nice cam, possibly custom, a larger intake, all supporting fuel mods, and a big ol blower. That should get you there.

I would start small and then later down the road after you have thought of all the major mods you can go from there.

First get a cold air intake, exhaust (flowmaster, magnaflow, stingers, MAC catback, Xpipe, H-pipe,etc those are all good), get some gears, a tune, bigger injectors, and other little things.

That would get you started and you will be over the stock hp line. Think of what you REALLY want on the car for awhile and then you can go from there afterwords. Maybe a S/C... I kinda think single turbos on a 5.0 arnt to great, twin turbo on a 5.0 is beastly!

But alot of options out there
