mmk.....need some clearing up here........would it be smarter to spend 2500 for h/c/i swap and get 350 flywheel hp or save up twice as much, hassle with the install, and enjoy over 600 rwhp with a turbo? any suggestions would be nice. i figure i could do turbo now, save up more and get the h/c/i later on to make the turbo even better.

600 hp? You will blow up that motor. If you can get the turbo and stick to low boost till you can get suporting mods.

I'm a fan of both.

You wouldn't want to run 600 HP through your stock block. But that's the beauty of a turbo setup...get an adjustable wastegate and turn the boost down. Keep it under 500 and you'll be fine. We had an S-trim car make 490 and it lived for a long, long time (read: we took it apart before it blew up).

I have a PTK kit with a 67mm Ported Shroud -- The kit is gorgeous but I waited a long, long time for it. I'd recommend Hellion since he has them on the shelf. He also has some turbo options available now that he didn't have when he first started out.

Im an old school guy, no turbos, no juice, all inches, the 557 going in the mustang is the first step, then we will see how much bigger we go. Street car also
