what do yah think
i am looking into purchasing a 1999 Ford Mustang GT Coupe with 3:55 and a Flowmaster exhaust. I want to put new pistons and rods on it so I can put on a turbo later and I thought while I am at it why not replace the cam and heads. SO what do you think would be the best combo of heads and a cam for the best drivability and horsepower. Also do you think I shoud replace the Crankshaft or will it hold up to 700+ horsepower. I was also wondering if I should replace anything while I have the engine out if so please suggest some. About howmcuh horsepower do you think I would be pushing with these Thanks.
P.S.- This is a daily driver.
