I have a 07 mustang gt, 4.6l with a HO procharger blower kit, just had it dyno'd and tuned it to the max, pushes 10lbs of boost, changed the gear box, and installed long tube headers... besides adding a pully, I have been told that it will blow the engine if I add anything else, and that I need/should change the pistons and piston heads, or get a bigger engine. I just want a second opinion or tips to push a lil more hp, and possibly run mid 10's.

I'd say you're getting close to pushing the limits of the stock internals at this point. What did you dyno at?

There is a lot more to a good ET than more power. Weight reduction, traction, drag specific suspension etc... Take a look over at S197 forum at their drag race specific section.

With 10 PSI of boost on a stock lower end, I would think you need to start looking at engine rebuilds. Somethings going to break at that kind of boost.

+1 for drag specific suspension. Good 60-foot times are a huge part of a successful drag racing operation.
