yeah but when your realize how much more power you could be making with same mods and decent flowing head you'll kick yourself. That is basically the same arguement that 4 bangers use... its cooler to make a "4 banger beat a v-8" well maybe, until you get beat by a v8 and then your just ghey
Not trying to start a war, All im saying is that the better the parts you can use in the beginning the less headache your going to have down the road... speed is addictive and just like a bad coke habit the faster you go the more expensive it gets

I was wanting to do the swap until i met up with one of the guys in my town that knows a lot about mustangs and told me that i am very close to having my car setup to put a s/c on it to hit 600 hp easily without any problems. so that is what im gunna do.

smaller underdrive pulleys, 75mm throttlebody, bbk cai, bbk longtube headers, straight pipe thru flows out the back, tk500 tranny, stage 3 clutch, short throw shifter, 4.10 gears, and tons of modifications on the undercarrage to help put the power to the ground. as far as any internal work on the motor i really do not know. everything that has been done to my car was done before i bought the car. if anything has been forged or if i have blower cams already in my motor i do not know. would have to take it all apart to know for 100% sure. all i know is there is not a single stock gt that can stay within 10 lengths of me in my area.

If your FI you don't want underdrive pulleys or a CAI.
Straight pipes with no crossover will hurt your power and make your car sound like Bubba's truck.
