Advice for future plans

[stangdude22]

Alright, im gonna be buying a 5.0 in the future and have some ideas for it. However, I don't know what path to go. I don't want to spend that much, hopefully around 3-4k or so. So here are my ideas.

Go h/c/i with something like gt-40 or bbk ssi intake, E or F-303 cam, and some aluminiun heads (haven't decided on which ones yet)

OR

Get a Paxton novi 1000. and deceint cam to compliment it.

Of course, I will be getting LT, gears, CIA and MAF. I guess I need 24# injectors for the h/c/i, but what about the novi, 30#s? This is going to be a project car, but I don't want to go crazy. I am looking to get around 300hp or so at the wheels.

BTW, how much can the stock T5 and AOD's take? I am leaning towards the T5 because 5speeds are more fun to drive.

Thanks

has anyone got any ideas? Is 300rwhp possible with both of these setups?
any recommendations on what h/c/i to get? Anyone running a novi 1000, and how do you like it? Any other small SC like vortech SC trim you would recommend?
Thanks

Sounds possible. The stock t-5 maybe able to take it but if you beat it to bad it will break.

Does that 3-4 k include the cost of the car?

Haha... No, that will mora than likely be the price of the car itself. I hope to spend around 7 or 8 total.

What would bring better results for the cheapest amount of money, h/c/i or SC? I don't want to run more than 7psi, and the cheaper started kits by paxton and vortech only go to 5-6. Which is good for me.
