Build my drive-train
Build my power-train is what I meant.....fail. If a mod sees this change it plz.
I've been S/C'd on the stock bottom end for a year and 7 months now and I don't really plan on waiting around for it to blow. It probly wont anyways its clearly a safe setup. So if she lasts one more year I'm going to go ahead and forge it and turn up the boost. And since were taking everything out and while the heads are off we might as well totally rework the heads and port them. And well while the heads are off might as well drop in cams. You get the picture.
I dont have an unlimited budget, so don't just pick every single top notch part that you can possibly think of and build a dream car, something reasonable(as reasonable as 550+RWHP is lol). This is a street car with maybe 10 drag strip visits a year at most.
Tell me what you would drop in if you had my car. Your only guidelines are as follows
#2 Must use existing KB 2.1L Supercharger
#3 Must use returnless fuel system
#4 No Pre-built shortblocks. I'm going to have my builder/shop use my block, bore it 20 over and drop in a rotating assembly. Feel free to tell me what parts you would use for the rotating assembly though.
#4 Must have some street manners. This means no stage 25.5 cams that slobber all over themselves at idle and no ridiculous torque converter.
# No long tubes. I'll spend for that later when i'm maxing this setup and dont have a lot of options.
Please list.....
Rotating Assembly
Headwork(using existing heads)
Camshafts(Springs, etc)
Fuel system(Fuel tank, Fuel Hat, Fuel Pump(s), Fuel Injectors)
COPS, Spark Plugs
Throttle Body, Air Intake
Torque Converter
Hardware
Optional input....
Spray
Transmission
Suspension(Street friendly, drag strip in mind)
Rear-end
Please list ballpark prices as best as possible and estimate labor based on your experience. I dont have the tools to pull a motor or machine heads/engine blocks so my shop will have to do that stuff.
Add any extra details and thoughts on this type of build you want. I'm here to soak up opinions and to help get the decision making process going as the year goes by. Add any input/specifics you would like. I also wanna start buying parts and prepping this deal. I want to show up with a built trans and basic drag suspension(FLSFC, UCA) when I get this done.

First off I would find a stock long block and build it and then swap it into the car makes it a lot easier.
Motor
Fox lake stage 2 ported heads
Cms stage 2 camps
Comp beehive valve springs
Manley forged rods
Your choice of pistons not sure what dish to do but i would go with a 9.5:1 range
Cobra crank not needed but would make the setup safer
All arp bolts in the bottom end
Arp head studs
Stock cops
Ngk tr6 spark plugs
Fuel system
03-04 cobra fuel tank
Dual Ford gt pumps
Stock fuel rails
60 lbs/hr injectors unless you want to use e85 then 80s
Trans
You may want to have your trans gone threw with the power you will putting down I would look at lentech
Pi or dirty dog torque converter 3000-3500 would be alright for street driving
Rear end
Cobra 31 spline diff
Mosier 31 spline forged axles w/ 3.55 or 3.73 gears
