I need some help with engine questions. I have an 03 GT and the warranty just ran out so I want to make some performance mods to it. I still have the stock 4.6L manual with no aftermarket parts. I've been saving up for the warranty to expire so I could start working on it. I don't even know if it is possible but I wanna get any where from 400hp to 450hp and still be good for Colorado's engine laws and emitions. I use the car for everyday driving but I just want a lot more powerthwn what I have now. I don't know whether it would be better to buy engine parts (i.e. cams, pistons, turbo, computer, exhust, etc) or a preformance crate motor. Also, any suggestions on anything to give a preformance boost (i.e. tranny, rear end, gearing, etc) would be great. Any suggestions, sites, or ideas would be appreciated. Don't worry about cost, I'll decide if I can afford it. Thanks guys. If you wanna know anything specific about what I'm looking for then just ask but for the most part I'm open to all ideas.
 
Will that still keep me good for the emitions tests and such? Are there any other ideas cause I don't really want to change the hood. I've already purchased an aftermarket hood but it doesn't have enough clearance for the blower. Also, any ideas for a good rear end cause I'm not sure if the stock one can handle it.
