Default s/c or heads and cam

In about a month I will be coming in to a little money. I was thinking about buying Patriot stage 2 heads and a comp cam. My goal is ( with the mods in my sig) to get a low 13 or high 12 second stang. WIll the Patriot heads and comp cams get me there. If not, should I just buy a S/C?What would be a good S/C to buy that will not blow my engine but will help me reach my goal (13.0-12.7) Thanks guys!

It's cheaper to make 400rwhp than it is to make 300rwhp.

u can get a mongoose kit installed for about that. most of the shops i've talked to charge around $1000-$1500 for install. if u can find someone who's pretty car saavy to help u out with the install, you'll save a lot of money (and you'll be able to get a better kit with the money u save).

Get a mongoose kit from Modular Powerhouse. The blower was $3800 to my door. Install and dyno tune + tune was $750! You can't beat that. If you live anywhere near GA then you need to go to MPH.
I drove over there from Alabama and it was well worth it.
