You want to do all of this because your friends WRX is... or rather, SEEMS faster than your ride?

Why do you care if your car is faster/quicker/launches better/corners better than so 'n' so's ride? I have made 100% of the mods on my ride for exactly ONE reason and ONE person alone.... me

Id wait to do anything. If you get the blower/cams your going to wish you went with the WRX and if you get the WRX your gonna miss the mustang.

I voted blower. It will give you the biggest gain, and any other mod that you go with will give you even better results. If you go with the cams now, and then decide you want a blower, you might run into the chance that you went with the wrong cams or that you could have gone with a better set that could've squeezed more out of your post-cams blower set up.

haha yeah, I actually did something intelligent tonight and talked to my father about it. Why I didn't think of this sooner I do not know. Anyway, I have pretty much decided that I am going to just stick it out for now and save my money. Thanks for the input guys, but for any of you interested I believe the ad for the heads and cams package was in the York, PA craigslist (the guy is from Spring Grove I believe). The superchargers were scattered around PA, NY, and NJ in craigslist as well. Good luck to anyone who grabs any of those parts.

Another vote for the Blower.
Heads and Cam will not get you close to the power you will be getting with a Blower. Might as well put that money towards forced induction and make some big power - at least thats what I would do...if I had the money...and a stang..ugh..soon
