Hey everybody I just recently got a 2000 mustang gt and am looking to give it a little more kick, but I'm relatively new to the upgrading scene and not 100% sure what I should do to bring those numbers out of the v8. This is why I've come here to ask for you're all advice, please keep in mind I'm still a high school student and don't have infinite funds, and want to use this as a daily driver that I can have some fun with when I want to.

Any and all help is appreciated!

Thanks, Austin.

Fuels system, quality SC kit, and tune.

That should be sufficient to put you into the nearest wall/curb/telephone pole.

Haha, think I’d rather not do that, but do you have any suggestions as to which sc I should go for such as, centrifugal, twin screws or roots?

It depends on what you like. The simple method would be a centri blower like a Vortech kit. Next to a turbo, this will give you the best peak HP.

If you want to put a sht-eating-grin on your face every time you get in the car, get a twin screw or roots. These cost more and are more complex to install. Can't beat them for street performance IMO.
