Stuck in a rut need advice!!!
So this is my first time posting on this forum but I read a lot on these forums lately. Here is my situation:
I have a 2002 GT Mustang I bought it back in high school sort of like my first car and I can't seem to sell it because of a bond with it. I recently though of trading it in for a new Shelby GT500 but the dealer would not give me crap for the car. I figure I own the car free and clear doesn't cost me much to keep it so why not do something with it so I enjoy it more. I think the biggest problem is I feel it slow. I have other cars so this one just seems slow so I don't tend to drive it all that much. Now the car has 62k miles on it I really want to do a KB blower setup and I would like to run anywhere from 12-14 Ibs of boost. So from what I read a stock block can handle up to 9 Ibs of boost if I read correctly. So my question is what upgrades are required to get this car to handle 12-14 Ibs of boost? Part of me doing this is also because the mileage on the car I figure if I am going to add a blower I might as well upgrade parts in the block to avoid future problems.
So with all this done and said my goal is to get around 400 Horse Power I hope that goal is within reach and all advise is welcome and appreciated thanks.

Thank you for everyone is input I am really wanting to build the motor out so that I can get a good amount of boost running through the car. I know reading more now that I can get 400 hp from a 9 psi SC with a good tune. I guess I am gonna start reading up and figuring out what parts to go with to build the motor thanks everyone.
