Since you are getting a blower, stick to the stock NPI heads because of the lower compression. Also, as for suspension, springs are up to you depending on what height you want but, I suggest upgrading the rear lower control arms w/ pieces from Maximum Motorsports along w/ poly bushings up front. For powertrain, a good clutch, rear gears, and a steel or aluminum flywheel. Brakes, go w/ Cobra brakes.

buy the supercharger. screw the knick-knack BS petty bolt ons. You should also do the PI upgrade which is upgraded heads that the new edge mustangs have. They are preaty cheap to find at about 250 each with cams and all that. you should gain about 50hp from the heads. Either those, or aftermarket heads but those are about 1200+ and youll need cams too.

How much Hp you want and how much you have to spend? I did all the calculations and it just made more sense to drop in a new motor.
