Default Need some expirienced suggestions.

Hey guys. I have a 95 mustang gt, that I am really trying to have fun with. I'm looking to achieve around 300-350hp n/a just to drive around on the weekends, and maybe to the local strip a couple times a year. I was looking for any expirienced suggestions on what my next modifications shoule be. The motor is a basically stock 302.

Here's a list of my current mods:
-underdrive pulleys w/ smog delete
-Ram HDX clutch
-4.10 gears
-Steeda tri-ax short throw
-unknown cai
-BBK equal-length shorty headers
-unknown o/r h-pipe
-Magnaflow "magnapack" catback
-Eibach sportline front springs

Any and all suggestions would be well appreciated.

cam swap will get you alot of power and with that set of 4:10s would be a perfect compliment to the car.

350 to the wheels on a 95 gt, you are going to have to spend some money.

A larger MA, and/or TB, and/or 1.7 roller rockers will get you a few hp each, but probably not get you 300-350 rwhp. A head/cam/intake combo would get you there, and you may want to think about fuel injectors and fuel pump to match.

The easiest way to add power is with boost. Otherwise I would look at Trickflow's top end kit. TFS-K514-360350B summit part #. But like someone already stated, what is your budget?

I don't really have much of a "budget." It's not really a matter of money, only time. I know boost is the easiest way to go, but I really want to keep it natural. I'm considering going with new heads/cam/intake and an upgraded tb, but is a larger maf necessary with a 70mm tb? Also, I really would like a nice lopey idle, as well.
