I dont know why nobody has'nt told you to start working on your rearend and suspension first. Put some gears 3:73's or 4:10's in and chunk those stock lower and upper control arms and then put some good eibach drag launch springs in and that will start you off b4 you spend a butt load of cash on that engine. Then I would suggest getting your Bassani's full length exhaust. These cars run wonders with the suspension set up for drag racing. This is how I started out b4 I did anything to the engine and I was running in the mid 13's. Good luck bro.

Well I want it for daily driver but just for some respect issues for some cars to deal with!! Well first Im getting bassinis then from there bolt ons! But I heard if you get a kb, then you have to forge the internals and get new cams and heads! I just need someone to tell me what I should get if I buy a kb system for a 2003 mustang gt!! TELL ME EVERYTHING! From intakes to cams! I will read some mags too but thanks guys!!
~For starters, you are going to need EVERY possible bolt-on to that car. Even after purchasing them you will not be at 300rwhp. You might be close, but I am honestly going to put you at anywhere from 255rwhp-270rwhp (every car is different) I dyno'd 260.4rwhp & 299.8ft-lbs w/out my 2nd tune & I have everything out there to minus a blower, or spray. I have heads & cams coming next[8D]! When I say every bolt-on that includes suspension (I've Eibach springs, but looking for Bilstein struts), & rear end work. You have to build up the rear in order to put the power w/out braking anything. Power + Traction = disaster for a stock rear end.
~Once all that is done, I'd look into if you planned on N20, or a blower. I'd go w/a Vortec myself, but yes you will need to forge you internals, & once you decide on which blower you want, you can then order the proper grind cams (some cams perform better n/a, some work best with p/a's), & the heads you want w/them. When all is said/done you should be comfortably over 500rwhp, but keep in mind you will need a few dyno tunes, & spending approx $12,000 to get everything from ALL THE bolt-ons to the heads/cams, supercharger, & labor for whatever you don't do yourself. Happy modding.
