Default 1999 mustang cobra rebuild

I have a 99 mustang cobra. I am interested in rebuilding the motor and fixing the suspension. I don't know where to start. I would like to buy all the parts I am going to put on before I start the work. I would like to increase horsepower in the process and MAYBE supercharge it later down the road. Any ideas to do with my car are wanted. I figured I could get input from a bunch of people on what is best to buy. I would greatly appreciate all the input you have. If you have good place to buy the parts that would also be helpful. Thanks again.

Refer to the second post on this page. What do you want out of your car?

I want it to be a street car. I don't want anything crazy but a fast street car. Maybe 450 HP or in that neighborhood. My pockets are not deep but I want to spend the money on good stuff. I'll save up and buy until I have all the parts.

A turbo kit for 450 rwhp is wasted money... Pretty much the most expensive way to get there...
