first thing you should do is create a sig so we know what your working with. as for mods you should start small, cold air intake, exhaust, tuner. then move to motor work, headers, bore, turbo. dont start off huge and get in over your head. its easy for us to say buy this and buy that but it takes time. you wont have a race car overnight. oh yeah and before i get **** for the sig thing, i dont have a stang, no stang=no sig.

ill work on getting a sig, but right now its pretty plain stock just slp catback and hr/ss springs.

honestly there really isn't a budget bc id still to still keep building her as time goes on, but i'm really looking for a bad a$$ mustang lol. hoping to get as much hp out of the motor without killing my self on the track. so im guessing 600+ hp lol? or should i go higher.

if she has to sit in the garage while i can afford the next piece of upgrade then so be it, i just dont to have to keep upgrading parts here and there.

just so you are prepared, a 600rwhp mustang is no joke. Be prepared for $10k+, built internals, bore, good flowing heads with a good manifold and custom grind cams, a large fuel system with a solid oiling system, built transmission/rearend, and a large power adder...

If you want 600rwhp yea turbo all the way. I say get the 0n3 kit and build around that.

As for wannabes argument, I agree turbos are more efficient but if someone only wanted 450rwhp I say vortech/pro charger

the cost is really not much of a concern bc id like to build her as time goes on. i was under the impression superchargers are the way to go in terms of "fast" wise and turbos we just a smaller version of them...correct me if im wrong, but it sounds like i am wrong lol. turbos must be the way?

Turbos and superchargers do basically the same thing. People will argue over twinscrew vs centrifugal vs turbo etc for days. They all have their pros and cons. Do some research and make a decision for yourself.
