Ideally for a boosted engine you want about a 9.5 compression ratio with dished pistons. You said you have the stock cast crank right?

Um I honestly don't know much about engine building. I would say polish your combustion chamber on your heads. Otherwise I'm not sure. Maybe somebody else will chime in.

Comp Cams makes some of the best cams out there. Depending on how aggressive you're gonna build your engine I would probably go with some stage 2 blower cams from them.

i think you should do nitrous first, but cams give the mustang great sound
