Default This year for my GT

Ok guys as you know now i just got my GT last week.. And for these 2 months I plan on just fixing all of its potential things that might be wrong with it (changes of many parts). Since i got it used. My goals are to reach 300hp by xmas and maybe some cobra accesories ,,,and by this time next year have 03 cobra power on my auto GT.then just keep her like that for a long time. I plan on wasting about 4-6K on it this year,,For xmas=all bolt ons,, and for next year= supercharge and stage 2 comp's

so my questions would be is 6k enough?(all i got if im lucky)
will i reach my power goals?
and what supercharger(if $$ allows) not brand what type,,twin screw,roots,,or centrifugal??benefits of each? remember got an auto conv..
Any help will great thanks..

Nice pics and vids of exterior.interior,,engine bay/exhaust,coming next weekend!

For like 4-5 grand you can just get a supercharger and be at 360-400 horsepower by christmas. If you get a used sc then you could get off alot cheaper. I wish I had done that instead of the bolt-on route first.

6 grand won't be enough i think. Id build ur motor like Mustang3GT said. Get a sweet shortblock. Some stage 2 heads, stage 2 cams. Full exhaust after that. Then gears.

THEN save for the s/c. It will be sick TRUST me lol
