I have talked my wife into letting me paint my mustang with the Dupont Chromilusion paint.The cost of paint and all the materials would be close to 3 grand...............well today i was thinking i could take that money and add more horsepower istead of changing the color of my car.Any ideas would be helpfull.

For $3k you can get a blower if you shop, so that's what I would do.

Ditto. I start with a basic KB and a good tune. It might take you a few more months to get the $$$ but it would be worth it. Besides, you could unbolt it and sell it if you ever sold the car.

You can do tons of NA stuff for 1000.

Gears, shifter, throttle body, plenum.

Not sure about labor, as that could vary from shop to shop..

But check out the KB price list http://www.kennebell.net/pricelist/pricelist.htm

and their site altogether: http://www.kennebell.net/

Good luck

What all have you done to your car already? I didnt see a sig anywhere so I figured Id start there .

If I had that much money hanging around, Id probably go the blower route if thats something you want to do. Id like to keep mine all motor so what Id do with $3000 is different than what you would probably want to do with it. Still you could just give me the $$$ and Ill spend it wisely for you, I promise .

superchargers4less.com , complete paxton supercharger $3042 plus freight , hook it up with that and your next purchase will probably be tires after you roast them off with the new found HP
