Default Engine Mods

Sup people?? I have a 2003 Mustang GT conv. and I would like to do some serious mods to but I am not sure what I need to do to get my HP up in the 500+ range but still be safe for my engine and a good daily driver. My main concern is what engine components i need to swap out that cant handle that HP. I have started with the basic bolt-ons loke 75mm throttle body with uper plenum and a cold air. I also got LT headers with xpipe and exhaust. I guess what i would like to know is what i should switch out and in what order should i do it if im not going to do it all at once but piece by piece. oh yeah and how do i post pics of my ride into the Photo Gallery.

you are going to want to build the bottom end if you want to make that kind of power. the factory rods and pistons won't do the job, but if they do they probably won't last to long at that level. throw in some h-beam rods and forged pistons (lower compression). some stage 2 heads from patriot (mixed opinions) or fox lake. s/c cams and a blower (10-15 psi) and you ought to be good for at least 500 to the rear wheels.
