Default Ideas of Things To Do To My Pony: Good or Bad, You Tell Me

The following items where things I were considering adding over the next couple years. Tell me which I should and which I should not do. Also, tell me if theres anything I missed I should do. (CAI, Headers, Cat-back, Gears, Pulleys, and Tuner are done already)


Ford Racing Ported Racing Heads

Ford Racing Hot Rod Camshaft

a performance radiator

Kellogg 4.6L Mustang "5.0L" Stroker Forged Steel Crankshaft (if this is a good idea would I need anything more than just the crankshaft)

Ford Racing Mustang GT Cobra Jet Throttle Body

Save your money up for a supercharger... forget the head porting, etc.

+1/2
if he gets a big enough supercharger, ala saleen stage 3, he will have to change the internals anyways, but i would agree after you spend all that money you will be able to get a super, go with that

1. Skip it
2. 50/50 If you will be happy with 325whp to 340whp, and you want the sound go for it. your mpg will suffer though. IMO I would go with the COMP NSR II cams for the hp and keeping somewhat stock mpg.

3. Hell no, skip it

4. 50/50 If you want to go F/I you can spin higher if you stay with the stock displacement. If you want N/A, talk with a reputable engine builder to stroke it to 5.0L but to use lighter parts increase efficiency (i.e. improve hp).

5. skip it.

Stay with the mods you have and get a super charger... that should get you approx 450-475 RWHP... much more than the other mods you have listed on your wish list.
