How much money do you want to spend this is the real issue and it does not sound like you want to just drop a ton of cash. Blowers are cheap HP and if you want to hit that type of HP without one you will be spending some big bucks.. Unless you just want a shot of Nitrous for a quick high!

I am putting out 350 rwhp NA and am sure I have 7.5K in performance mods. If you want more you start getting into strokers, headwoork etc and if you dont plan it out it costs even more to piece it all together. May want to just save for the blower.. I wouldnt want one on my car but if you want the HP cheap it is the best way to go.

thanks guys,

I am glad that you guys know everything about this car,because it is always difficult in my country to get good advise and we don't have tuning shops for the mustang
So the best rwhp I can get is max 350?
Anyway The netherlands is 1 of the only countrys in Europe with so many USA cars ,but for tuning it is always diffcult.

It would really suck not to have a shop to help you out. This really limits it to what you can do or what you trust a shop that knows nothing about a Mustang to do for you. The tunes can be sent to you by a company like Brenspeed. I was not happy with the custom tune my shop did for all my mods and had Brenspeed make a custom tune and uploaded it myself. The fun part is installing Cams, delete plates, headers etc. and even the blower. But a car is a car so suppose if you have instructions a good mechanic could do the work for you at the local repair shop send off for the tunes upload them and take it for a spin.. Makes me happy I live in the USA where there are lots of choices in shops and parts..

Hi ,

Now there is 1 body shop in The Netherlands who have done more work voor upgrade the mustang gt.
He said that he can do this for:
cold air intake (filter, hitte schild, massair huis en elleboog)
- Underdrive pulleys
- Bassani X pipe
- Borla dempers
- performance tune inclusief hetSCT tunings device met 3 tunes

and this will give 55 pk and no headers included...

You can order the Cold Air Intake with the tuning device and tunes directly from a company like Brenspeed. Install it yourself, install the tunes yourself. Only thing I would get the shop to do if you cant is the exhaust. Installing the CAI and Tunes are easy...

Welcome to the forum and +1 to everything they said. Also take the short drive to the Nurburgring and play around with her. I have been there also been to Amsterdam, and enjoy your car, so many people in the netherlands riding bicycles....

I think 55 RWHP with the above is stretching it. My guess: 40 RWHP if you're lucky.

Buying a CAI & tune combo and installing it yourself will net you roughly 20-25 RWHP. It's an easy install.

Our Stangs dyno, on average, at about 265-270 RWHP stock. Getting to 350 would be tough but doable if you include internal work.
