2000 Mustang GT-I want to start to add some real power
hey everyone,
my stang until now is stock without any performance part except the headers, the previous owner told me that he changed it to SVT heades.
whatever, now i want to add some real power to my stang but i don't know from where to start up and the best parts to add first.
my friend suggested to me to add the following:
1- C & L intake plenum.
2- BBK 75 mm throttle body
3- JLT Ram Air
4- Long off-road x-pipe ( i don't know what brand to choose magnaflow, bassani or any best brand to fit).
5- Magnapacks.
my other friend said:
just add supercharger or twin turbo (you know they are very expensive)
please i need your suggestions and any thing that i miss.
i need my 2000 stang to fly

In order to get more power to a motor you need to make the motor breathe better. Changing heads, cam, intake, fuel delivery, and ignition.
I guess you would have to ask yourself which way you want to build your car (strip/strip, autocross, all racing) This will start leading you into the direction of how to build. Reading and asking alot of questions will also help get you going in the right direction as far as proven methods and cost savings. I would suggest that unless you can upgrade all systems at once, don't buy upgraded parts for different systems at the same time. It will start to work against you until you get all the comonents needed.
Good luck on your build.

Personally I feel you can sell your car and buy one with all the mods for much less than you will spend to "make it fly"...it cost me $5800 for the supercharger add on my Cobra (among about $5,000 in other parts and install to bring everything up to match the power), all those parts add up real fast...I'd recommend the terminator cobra, then you have a flying fully engineered car, possibly with a warranty...I say this because I see so many great dream cars on Ebay and I always think "rats, for what I spent building my car I could have had that !

As a side note, most of those small add ons will not add much to the power, also you don't just "add a supercharger or twin turbo"...the car is not engineered for the power in any aspect of the drivetrain/suspension...you will basically have to rebuild the car from stem to stern..very expensive...when you see the car magazine cars they never mention how much someone spent building it...the easy way to "make it fly" and it sounds crazy to some is to add NOS..that way you just use it when you feel the "need for speed" and the rest of the time you can drive sanely

Big +1 on that!! That's the route I chose and I have top parts all ready installed for the application I wanted. I saved a sh*t load of money!

put gears in the rear end . Its the most bang for the buck. It will not give you more HP but it will be hands down the best thing you can do. put 3.73s or 4.10s it will make the car quick. Then do the list your buddies gave you.

thank you alot;
you know i'm new with these things and to be honest with i will first do the basic things with not lot of maney loss. also i remove the supercharger and twin turbo idea for now, i just want to start the little build, so that i can beat comaros, and after that go to the master work.

you know you make intrested in this, i wasn't plan to change it for my stang, but i think i will go for it. but i heard that 3.73 is better for daily drive, racing and having fun than 4.10, what do think guys?

thank you man
if its a 5 speed 3.73 will be fine to give you an idea of 4.10s
I have a 94 gt 18" rim 245 tire in 5th at 2500 rpm the car goes 70 mph

thanks
you could buy the car you want way cheaper than building it for sure!
Dont get hooked on your mustang. I see 96-98 cobras with all mods for $5000-$8000 all day long and 99s for $7k-11k. Just go drive one and you tell me? The 32 valve motor is the sh!t. They are way betters cars than the gt
And yes he is correct go to your local dealer when they have a termi and drive it. Your 2000 gt is such a dog compared to these cars. I paid $21k for mine 15k miles 2 years ago it is a machine 460 rwhp. You will never get your car to this for less money. Oh and you car have the a/c on and the stereo and go racing. LOL My girl loves to drive it. Although now days it sits in the garage race prepped waitting for its n ext day at the track

You have know idea how much that car will take. nos is safe if used in small amounts and the timing is set correctly. Your lack of experience is holding you back. Why dont you take your car to a road race track and let your instructor drive it for you. The 1st words out of your mouth will be "I didnt know this car could do that"
