Default Professional Help?

i bought a 95' mustang gt w/ the 5.0 & automatic tranny. the engine will need some work because there is a cylinder that is pinging. we did a compression test on that side and the lowest was 125psi and the highest was 140psi. the tranny is a little rough from 1st to 2nd. i am planning to rebuild the engine and put some extra in to give me some more horses. i would greaty appreciate suggestions to put the engine at around 300hp ball park. i am not sure on what to get since im new to the performance stuff. im gonna have the transmission rebuilt and have a shift kit put in.

all you want is 300 at the motor? 100 shot of NOS will do nicely, bring you close to 300 at the wheels

no im gonna be using it as a daily driver and bringing it to the track every once in a while. i was hoping to get 300 to the wheels if possible. im not sure how much hp it would take to make it into the 13sec range but that would make me happy

a well planned H/C/I/ combo will do nicely, either way 300 at the wheels is gonna cost you 2-3k

all depends on how you wanna go about it... 2-3k into a strategically picked suspension setup will give you 12's on a stock motor.
