Ok here is what I am looking at. I want some help choosing the combo or if they actually work. I have a 96gt with 03 5.4 lighting heads port and polished. 03 Pistons stock 96 block. Standard cams and 4:10 gears and shift kit. Now I want to put a Typhoon intake 75 mm TB plenum, x-pipe, Roush side exhaust, underdrive pulleys, cold air intake, Tuner, T3 Turbo. How much would this increase my power. I dynoed at 280 hp 320trq at the wheel now. I might even through a 100 shot of nitrous if i believe the motor can handle it. Does anyone know any place to score up turbo parts for a mustang. I can get T3's for 300.

The only thing I'll say is I would stay away from the Typhoon Intake. Take a look a Trickflows new one or just keep the stocker.

I would go with a hps hardballer intake. I have yet to hear anything bad about them. the typhoon is a whole different story. do a internet search and you will find more then a few people with problems running that intake. some have lost a good amount of power in the low end with it. if you go turbo dont boost it too much.

well if you want to turbo that thing i personally would go ahead and forge the bottom end. You wont be able to really take advantage of a turbo set up with out doing so.

So 6 PSI on this motor with a tune and bigger injectors and 75 MM TB PLENUM Should be good. I got the rousch mufflers for free. A friend bought one and switched to open exhaust. What about the mid pipe.

I do not want this to be a drag racer. I have a mustang 583 BB 850 hp N/A car. I just want my daily driver to be around 350 to 400 hp. I am almost at 300. Then I have my traveling mustang left stock. So if not a turbo what else could bump me up a little.
