Default Best power gains?

I know this has been asked a thousand times but what are the best bolt on to get the most power out of a sohc?

I destroyed my 98 with the PI swap about 2 years ago and just bought a 2000 GT with a off-road pipe and flow masters (hate them, had borlas on my 98). I put the Saleen suspension on last night from the new edge Saleens and some nice wheels and tires. Thats as far as it has gotten so far.

Will I have to go FI to break 300hp?

From what I have read either Nitrous or FI. But I'm pretty sure some guys with more knowledge will be in here shortly. Good luck with your build though.

look at the list of mods in post #30 on this link this guy was able to get 309 rwhp after this list of mods https://mustangforums.com/forum/4-6l...ns-here-3.html

FI or nitrous may be your best bet and take a few minutes out to read this also http://www.moddedmustangs.com/forums...ore-power.html

300rwhp is about where you get to with cams, heads(new or PP), and full exhaust.
It is tough to get very much beyond that N/A. It is not impossible, but expensive to get to 325-335rwhp N/A.

Exactly. Don't make the mistake I made.... dumping over 5K into her on boltons, than got the S/C'er, cost was about the same as all the mods. I am not saying you don't need to mod AFTER you S/C her, and bigger tires are the first thing I WOULD do after the blower. Oh, I blew my stock motor after about 30K miles with the blower, damnit!
