If you want a power adder you can look at the Kenne Bell 9PSI kit .

If I had a extra 4K laying around this is what I'd like to get ..

I'd probably do heads, cams, and LT's.
Or save alittle more and get blown.

as he said above, KB kit.. if you won't get blown, I'd do some VT cams with a dyno tune, and spend SOME of the leftover cash on some quality suspension parts such as a pan-hard bar from MM or Griggs.

Im really looking at getting blown but worried about how my stock motor will handle it, also the 2 kits Im intrested in are the KB 9psi intercooled and the Pro-Charger 8psi intercooled. I have also thought about a possible turbo setup, any info?

If I had that money I would go see T&J Performance http://www.modularfordpowerhouse.com/ for one of their Mongoose Kits.

my thoughts would be to build up the engine first. some nice cams and springs, then either some new heads, or P&P your stock heads. then build the infamous bottom end. that should be around 4k right if you have any left, then maybe some appearance mods. but im w/ you, im a little skeptical about throwing a blower on a stock engine. btw, what roads in austin do you drive a lot? im on 620, 2222, 183, 360, that area. also, are you a member of austin area stangs?

If I were you I would save a bit more and the get the KB 9 psi IC Kit. The kit was engineered for use with stock motor and hence you should have no worries...your stock motor will handle it very well and will love it. Just don't get too crazy increasing the boost past 9 psi without the necessary precautions!!! If going blown is not an option, then I would get cams, LT headers...

I would go ahead and build up a nice engine with forged internals so you don't have to worry about that later.
