is it a good idea to get a turbo on a stock block? i want toget a power adder but not sure if i should go the blower or turbo route. I hear the stock blocks are good to right around 500rwhp.my goal is to get to about the 450 mark, sitting alittle under 330 right now.

If you add a turbo you are probably gonna be in the danger zone. It may last a week, or years. Alot of people say it is in the tune. But the general consensus is ~500 hp, which you will achieve fairly easy with any decent amount of boost

so blower is my best choice for now until an engine rebuild?

Not exactly your best bet. I blower will probably still put you in that range. Just get whatever you feel like, and when the block goes build it up stronger

you can run a turbo, at low... low boost... and hit that number w. ur set up... save for a real block and crank up the boost

btw on turbomustangs.com or w/e it is, there was a thread... i used to have the link... bone stock mustang, like stock tb and everything... bolted on the bg turbo kit, at 9psi and saw somewhere around 470rwhp

I ran a stock short block with ported H/C/I and my procharger at 17lbs to just over 600 hp. Ran it that way for 3 years, tons of beatings and never had a issue. It is is the tune and making sure to keep your RPM down under 6200. I would recommend the blower because they are generally easier to tune and not as sensitive as a turbo to weather changes.
