i have an 01 gt lookin for around 550-600 rwhp.. what can i do to make that? i have just about 300 rwhp right now. i know a supercharger would be a start.. but is there any thing else that i can do. what would be the best set up???

You need a stronger block and crank. 600rwhp equates to 660 or so at the crank assuming you have a 5speed and that's alot, IMO, on a stock block and crank.
Heads seem to be fine although I don't know what they did to them to make them a Stage 2? You'll definitley need alot of flow thru them in order to achieve that kind of power to the wheels.
You suspension seems to be coming along nicely which is a good thing, you'll need it although you may want to consider some brake upgrades.
An '01 stang had either the T45 or the TR-3650, either way, that will not handle that kind of power. You will definitely need to upgrade the tranny, driveshaft and u-joints. Might I suggest a built T45/3650 or a TKO and at least 1350 u-joints front and rear.
Like Randy said, I would think a Kenne Bell and a shot of N2O will get you there.

Remember, it is almost impossible for anyone, myself included, to diagnose a problem over the internet without seeing the car. My advice is simply that, advice based on years of experience. I don't want you or anyone taking my word as gospel. I am trying to give some direction as to what I think may be happening.
Well crank will def have to be upgraded, but i thought the stock block can hold up to 800-900hp. Look into a Kenne Bell 2.6L and run about 18psi and plus a little bit of NOS would be insane. Suspension does look good, but i dont see any lowering springs? It would really help to have your car lower to the ground with that power. And i agree i would probably also upgrade the tranny and brakes as well, although my shop guys wife stang has stock T-45 and is pushing 700rwhp and is driven to the track often......yes stock tranny and he says it drives fine but im sure it will go eventually.

700 to the wheels on a stock tranny? That's pretty much unheard of, they just aren't that strong. To make 600 to the wheels all the stuffs the peeps above have said should work, but you will have to do a lot more than just make the power, like they also said. Good advice in here.

if i put lowering springs wont i be hitting alot of road bumps with my long tubes, they hang kind of low.. a blower and n2o would be insane
That totally depends on how much boost you use. Looks like you have a pretty solid bottom end so you can crank the boost up a lot beyond 10psi.

I got LTs and steeda springs; I've only scraped once and that was going down an very steep driveway with a big lip on it. It should be ok just take your time when going over speed bumps and such

I like the sound of that KB 2.6L blower. That'll definitely get you the power you're looking for. You may want to consider swapping to a return style fuel system at that power level also.

It comes with a Cobra style dual bore throttle body. It says that kit doesn't come with injectors, belt and 8 rib pulley system. Also says you'll need the Cobra R hood to clear the blower.
You may want to check into how far a 2.1L will get you before ordering any parts. I know the older KB Blowzilla would fit under a 03-04 Cobra hood but I'm not sure how that blower matches up against the 2.1.

Ive been told that you can run about 16psi on the 2.1L although the website says 9-14psi. Not sure how much power 16psi will get ya, i wouldnt say 700rwhp but it would be a good little bit. And i would drop the car 2in. but i would definately find some lowering springs to lower it a little. Look into the Bullitt spings, they only lower the car like 3 quarter of an inch and i think that should clear your headers, just drive over those speed bumps very slow and at an angle if you can.
