Help me please
 
Alright everybody I have a few questions that have been really driving me crazy lately trying to find an answer for so here I go. All of these parts would be for a 1999 Ford Mustang GT and please answer any questions you can thanks.

1. If I was to add a VT stage 2 cam N/A, Ceramic Long tube headers w/ matching x/h pipes, catbacks, 1.5" lowering springs, 3.73 gears, Nitto 555r, a 75mm TB/plenium, programmer(not sure which one yet maybe you could give me some ideas), rear seat delete, and a CAI. How much HP do you think I sould have total with all of these modifications and what 1/4 times should I maybe be getting? What if I had the heads ported and polished how much HP would I gain with the above modifications? How much HP should I expect to gain by increasing the compression of my pistons and how much money would it cost to increase my compression. Finally how much HP and what 1/4 times sould I expect with ported/polished heads, higher compressiong pistons, and all of the above mentioned modifications.

2. My other option is to buy a KB supercharger and run 9 psi. Only problem is that I would rather not spend that much money yet and instead buy all of the above mentioned stuff except maybe high compression pistons and add the KB at a later date. The KB would probably run me about another 2K more so I reallly don't know what way I should lean so any help would be appreciated and thanks again.

if you got the vt stage 2 cams, p&p heads and intake manifold, then the intake stuff and a programmer, you'd be close to 300whp.

So much info there. The 2V is very expensive to get big HP out of N/A. If you want quick and easy HP, slap a blower on it and you will have more HP for less $$ than doing the first set of mods you listed. I have seen 2V's with full exhaust gain 65-80HP with ported heads and good cams. The problem with P&P your heads is that the shop doing is, must know what the hell you are doing and after you pay for the P&P work, new valves, springs etc....it can be VERY expensive. Look at Fox Lake Racing, MPH and VT for complete heads, then sell your PI heads to someone outright to offset your expenses.
