Default curious power adding question...

I just bought stanggangs mustang and its basically full bolt ons minus the underdrive pulleys. I'm just curious how to get more horsepower without putting a blower on (future plan). Suspension? Im not planning on driving it in the winter so I'll have tme to work on it if i choose but I may not. I was just curious. Anyone?

forging allows for more power to be pushed through ur engine without blowing it up.. heads and cams result in more air flow to your engine which = more power...

how much money is it you ask?? EXPENSIVE

probably not in your price range right now considering you seem young and you just bought a 13K car

You'll see close to 50hp with heads, cams, and a good tune. If you're gonna do internals you could always go the 5.0 stroker route. Check out modularmustangracing.com They have all sorts of goodies. Oh and you might try a port & polish job on your heads and intake for even more hp.

well, my plan for this car was to get a P1SC procharger, run on low boost until i could afford to forge the rotating assembly..... for what heads and all that nonsense costs, you can supercharger the car... what would you rather have? 300rwhp or 400+rwhp
