Sup Peeps. I already posted this once but I guess I made a newbie mistake and well uhh posted in the wrong spot. sorry. So I'll post it here and hopefully get better feed back.

I have a 2003 Mustang GT conv. and I would like to do some serious mods to but I am not sure what I need to do to get my HP up in the 500+ range but still be safe for my engine and a good daily driver. My main concern is what engine components i need to swap out that cant handle that HP. I have started with the basic bolt-ons like 75mm throttle body with uper plenum and a cold air. I also got SLP LT headers with xpipe and SLP loudmouthII exhaust. I guess what i would like to know is what i should switch out and in what order should i do it if im not going to do it all at once but piece by piece.


oh yeah and how do i post pics of my ride into the Photo Gallery.

If you want that kind of power. Your are going to need to get your internals forged. Get your heads ported and get a supercharger. The first thing though is to get the internals forged so that you can run alot of boost without hurting the motor. For street use though just get a light to moderate cam. Is your car auto or manual?

You won't need a stall then. You will probably want to go to at least some 3:73s gears.

You don't have your current internals forged, you have to buy all new forged internals.

Just depends where you buy them.
