I find it funny you want a twin setup because it is cheaper than a SC but haven't even considered that amount of $ it will take to make your short block handle the 700hp you pulled out of your ***.
If $ is truly an obstacle consider slapping a SC on your stock motor and have fun with that this is your cheapest route or NOS

Exactly, your going to need a motor, transmission, driveline, and a pricey fuel system setup. If you need to take this someone tack on a massivev labor charge as well. But doing it yourself just a ballpark of $10k dollar and that estimate is way on the cheap side for a 700 horse build. If you need a shop to do just got buy a new gt500 it will be cheaper.

I apologize then...I didn't see them as answers. I was wondering if my stock auto would do or did I need a manual? I am new to mustangs so suffice to say I am a newb. If turbos are so hard on the trannys...would you recommend a s/c instead? I will be getting a Bama Tuner and Valve body upgrade kit from American Muscle. Along with 31 splines and gears and diff to beef up the driveline.

Maybe this is how ya'll talk on here...but I didn't pull #'s out my ***...I read up on what certain turbos can do. I was simply asking some questions since I am new to Mustangs and what they can handle.

Cool! I want a tuner so frreakin bad, but alas, wifey has my bawls in a lock box, lol. With a supercharger, you are good with stock auto with the cooer added as I lnked to in my other reply. There is a good writeup in the boost and pipes forum about supercharging on a budget.
I'm a noob too when it comes to turning wrenches but am learning from these gearheads experiences.
