Default Safe bolt ons for max horsepower

Ok, so im an uber noob about all the tech stuff, and i would just like to know if im headed in the right direction...
Im trying to get the maximum horsepower/performance out of my 06 GT (I dont have a GT500, just a username) and here is what im looking at:
4.10 gears
Cold air intake (Would like suggestions to brand)
flash programmer
better fuel pump
better fuel injectors
Supercharger (Would like suggestions to brand)
Like I said im a noob, but I would really appreciate it if you guys could critique this, and give me new suggestions and estimate how much all this would cost, including installation. My targets are around 450 HP and like a 11.5 1/4 mile. Do you think these would reach that goal?

This will get your hp needs and safely. http://www.teamjdm.com/shop/product_...roducts_id=213

But to get the times you're looking for you will also need to upgrade your suspension, i.e., LCAs, maybe the UCA, rear swaybar, possibly adjustable shocks, maybe a one piece DS, track tires, and the list goes on. BMR suspension has been good to me and CHE is a very good product as well. For what you want you're looking at around $7k- $10k depending on the S/C and that's just a start. [&:]

Just remember that once you start, it's hard to turn back.

You could get that vortech s/c from superchargersonline.com at a much better price.

You're doing the right thing, there are many choices out there, so it's good to do the reasearch. The kit I showed you is definetely not the cheapest, but along with JDMs tune, it is one of the safest. They have yet to loose an S197 motor due to any of their kits/tunes. And it's direct bolt on with everything you need to achieve 450rwhp or more.

Vortech is the WORST supercharger available for the Mustang. I would rather strap fed flinstone to my drive train then a vortech, given we have the option of Saleen and Whipple, nobody should be using any superchargers but those. Vortech is so cheep for a reason, but even then the price is made up for with the expensive installs so it's just a waste of money.

If you already have one I don't hold it against you, in fact I really respect SC'ed peeps, but to buy that kit would be just an agonizing process you know?
