I'll second that. N2O has a huge force on the hit. The TQ curve will go straight up! I've email/ street tuned a bunch of blown cars. It takes a little longer, but it can be a lot cheaper, and the car usually drives better. The reason for driving better is that there are a lot of tuners that are "WOT" tuners and leave the part throttle stuff untuned.

Thanks for all the responds anyways i have been looking into doing the Pi Swap but was wondering how to save money doing it i won't be doing it myself considering i'm only 20 years old but where can i find the stuff i need cheap?... And what about the heads?.. does romeo or windor both bolt on either block? just the valve covers are different?.. Should i get the head port and polished?... what about cams good time to put them in when the heads are out no?... what is a cam with a good rough idle too??

You could look on ebay. A few years ago, they were going for around 400 bucks. If you buy them and then get them port and polished, it's not going the cheap route though. Either romeo or windsor will bolt on to a 4.6 block, so you're fine their. It's the valve covers that are different. Windor's are rare for Mustangs but usually were used in the lightnings or suv's with 2v heads.
But cheapest route would be doing it yourself. i would call around to see what someone will charge to do the swap for you.

Dude, nothing is this game is cheap. IMO 400Hp NA will cost $10K+ and will not be a daily driver by any means. I would look for a cheap used blower, and boost the stock block if you are on a budget.

How much did this cost ya cuz i would be fine with 300 rwhp for now then i could always supercharge it later with some new internals and make it wild?.. did u do all the work urself???
