What is the best setup to make 500rwhp on my 1997 mustang gt?

stock motor wont take that, so unless you got DEEP pockets you arent gonna hit this anytime soon. i suggest start looking for a 03/04 cobra motor to swap with if you want 500

rods are a timebomb with 450rwhp. 500 will need a forged motor

What if i get all new forged internals?

forged internals will work, thats gonna set you back several grand, plus X grand for a blower or turbo setup. how much money are u willing to spend on this?

Well i figured about 2 grand for a stroker kit with everything forged, 3 grand for a supercharger, and 2 grand for stage 2 patriot heads and stage 2 comp cams.

Forged bottom, good turbo setup either single or twin will get you there with astock PI topend.

Forged bottom, a good centri or bigger twin screw (2.2 up) stock PI topend minus blower cams.

Either should make 500+ with the right fuel setup.

you will definitely need forged internals. If you have to do this in steps, forge the bottom end. get the supercharger and then if you can afford it get new heads and cams

Alright thanks a lot for the help

i wouldnt bother with the stroker kit. a forged motor with a blower and a couple bolt ons can hit 500rwhp
