Nitrous is all that's left that's affordable. I have a zex dry kit that has everything but bottle and nozzle if your interested. 150 bucks plus shipping. I saw a tank for 75 in the Modded mustangs forum then all you need is the nozzle. Other than that cams will cost you at least a grand supply and install and there is always forced induction used is at least 2000 unless you buy the eBay turbo but you still need the hot side manifolds bent and welded so there is another 600 bucks. It costs about 60 hp on a 2v motor. But the bright side is they are very durable and can take alot of abuse. I spray 150 at the track and 75 on the street with no ill effects. I also spray meth at the same time. Keeps my upper intake spotless for sure.

No sweat. If you got the money forced induction is the way to go tho. My mustang takes second to feeding my kids. A real close second....hehehe so a blower will never be in my budget. I wish I woulda got into this hobby a decade ago. I would have the baddest car on the road.

Yes I have to admit a blower is most Def the way to go. I'm building mine right now and can't wait till I get all the parts I need for it. But I think you should go hears man. I noticed a huge difference when I got mine. And it was only 400 including the gears and installation. Go 3.37's or 4.10's

I didn't like 4.10s so I saved 1 mpg and went with 3.90s. Best mod next to that bottle I ever did. Well and tuner of course
