The possibilities are endless, but unfortunately everyone's wallet might not be. What kinda budget are you working with?

Well honestly it really depends on how much speed and power I am getting from the mod, right now I have 1,000 to spend ,but like I said earlier I just want to get around 300 to 330 horses worth the money. I want to be able to tale a differece from what I got right now.

HCI=Heads, Cam, Intake. If your on a very serious budget, you could look into a GT40 build up. Done right though, making 300-350hp (crank hp), your going to spend between 1-2k very easily. Even on the cheap stuff.

One more thing this may be a stupid question but is a Gt40 build up a h/c/i type of package or is it something else, so could you explain, kinda new to this car stuff. Just know I love my mustang.
