If you'd like to stay N/A I would run this kit with longtubes and a cold air intake with a dyno tune, I'd say that would achieve your power goals.

I've contacted ford racing about that manifold. You won't find anybody with it as they are shipping out all the orders next month. However, after I see some testimonials and reviews, that'll be on my shopping list.

I would get it intercooled with the proper fuel upgrades.

The top end kit is nice but there is a substantial amount of labor involved that would make it pretty pricey. I'm thinking more labor for the top end kit than the SC install.

save your money and do your homework.. if you can turn a wrench and cut hoses, you can install this kit yourself!

I did and it was a cake walk.. I've taken tranny's/motors apart and this is a walk in the park.. 400whp is more than enough. it is for me(now anyways, upgrading soon!)

I'll post up vids of my runs in a sec...

damn, throw in some LCAs, shorty headers, gears and you're set to run mid 12s with that kit (Drag radials)

If I ever run that setup, I'm going with long tubes and 4:10s.
