Default Pumpgas King/street car/low cost

Is this even possible. I want a setup that isnt going to kill my pocket..will make a ton of power on pumpgas and still be streetable...if it is then point me in the direction. I have an 89 GT with a high miled 302 with almost all the bolt ons but I want this mustang to be just plain sick. Thanx

No more than 20,000-25,000...and that is everything. Lets just say my car is just a shell.

yup u have alota options... stroke a 351 to a 408build it, s/c it. 31spline rear, 3.55s(w. as much power as ur looking at, i dunno how high id go on gears), obv dragradials, do your suspension, could tub it and do a 4link if u wanted, then run some big *** tires. some kinda tranny, if manual id say a tko, or better. if auto let someone else suggest something.... i can go on forever

basically the possbilities are endless. and w. that budget, ur gonna have a bad *** car.

408 forged everything, procharger d1, all supporting mods, built c4 or aod(depending on highway driving) will a large stall, full suspension, and a built 9' out back. That should be a streetable setup, and dominate at the track. I am sure if you plan it well you can do it in your "budget". Well if i had 25k to spend on my fox that is the set-up it would have
