Default Best Setup for 1990 Ford Mustang ?

I have a vortech s-trim supercharger,headers,cam,rocker arms,etc. but I need more mods according to the performance places around me and looking for other opinions on what to do. Does anyone have the ideal setup for 400hp + up ? (Please list all mods) Thanks

what do you mean "according to the performance places around me"...?

Also, get yourself a nice set of heads and swap out that cam for a custom. You should easily see 400hp w/ an S trim.

there is no one perfect set up , multiple combos will give great results on the 5.0 , is all you have now is a stock 5.0 with a s/c???

Yeah stock motor with a s-trim will see 330-370 ish. But you do a HCI swap. Whatever HCI you choose they make like 450-500. Almost every mustang with a "fairly simple" SC kit makes the samething.

I'll take a look into some of those things. Last at dyno it was only at 305hp around 4psi and the performance shop said to get a 90mm mass air,42lb fuel injectors,high flow fuel rails,clock supercharger(dont know wat that means),4.10 gears,3.6in pulley wheel,and i believe like two other things just cant think of them right now. Suppose to be when all done the car should hit 420hp rear wheel at 10-12psi.
