Ok, I just finished college and soon I should have a much better paying job. I'm also selling my house and I'm going to spend some of the money or so on the GT. Here's what I plan to do in the near future:
H&R springs, Bilstein S/S, LCA's, C/C plates.
New clutch
Rims/tires
Paint touch-up and new clear coat.
Cowl hood
Saleen s281 spoiler
MAYBE Nitrous
My long-term goal, however, is to swap the engine for something I can supercharge. I was thinking of just going with a MPH short-block, but I'm not sure yet. Basically, my goal at first is to have a set-up that pushes just enough power for the stock transmission and rear-end to handle, but I also want a set-up that has the potential to make 500rwhp once I eventually change the transmission and beef up the rear.
So my questions are:
How much hp will the stock t-45 and rear-end handle?
What is the best set-up to go with to meet that number, but later on be able to crank up to my 500rwhp goal?
About how much am I looking at spending on parts?
The reason I ask is because I'm debating if I actually want to do this or just sell the GT later on and buy a Terminator. I know that the obvious answer is the latter, but there is a sentimental value in my GT because of the time/money/pride that I have in it.
