I, personally, would get some better rims. Those rims look...well they dont look like they belong on a Mustang.

The internals are stronger rods and pistons, as well as a stronger crank. the stroker ised rod lengths to increase the displacement, and increase power. combine this with a stage 3 H/C/I kit and you will be ready to throw nearly as much boost as you want at the engine. powerwise, form thsi you can expect mid 200's easily to the wheels.

 

I would buy some fr500's to replace your rice rocket rims, get rid of the neons, and save for your next stang.

 

Jeez, let's not get started on his rims again.... This forum was designed to help, not to bash people on their rim choice.

The rims look fine for being 20's ( I say that only because very few stangs can pull off 20's)

Leave them alone because I'm sure you like them (that's all that matters).

As NYstang said, new rods, pistons, and maybe a mild cam will net you about mid to high 200's.

That's what I would do. Later on I would hit up a S/C or turbo.

 

I'd go blower right away - keep it at low boost, save up build a good motor, that swap it all over.

 

+1 Go with blower now, than build the motor. If you build the motor first there will be alwayssomemore expenses andsomething to stop you from getting the blower!

 

Ok so if I go this route how how much am I looking to spend after labor because I cant do it myself and all im gonna have is $3500. And what all would this entail?

Im def. not gonna do a blower right away now that I think about it more because it makes more sense to me to build my motor up right off the bat and then later on when its built strong then go and throw some boost and nitrous at it. Or am I wrong for thinking that?

One more question now going with the FI-4.3 and cam am I gonna notice more on the low end or top end?

 

A built forged 4.3L is going to cost you like 3500...

A h/c/i 4.3L is gonna cost you like 3500...

a completely built 4.3L is gonna cost you like 6900...

A s/c used is going to cost you between 1500-2.5k depending on what your getting....



#1 will make maybe 10hp over a stock ford 4.2L f150
#2 will make maybe 230 rwhp
#3 will make maybe 240-250 rwhp
#4 will make maybe 270rwhp

 

So you think a s/c is the way to go then build the engine up? Where can I get a s/c kit with everything included for $1500 to 2k? The cheapest iv seen is 3k

 

Well in all honesty no.
Building the motor then s/c would be the best way... But if you want power now, plan to run low boost, and your motor is mechanically sound then s/c would be great: Save up, run low boost, and then go forged. I have a friend selling his v2 off his 3.8 (the silver one in my vids)
