2013 shelby gt sc v6 build help
So with my budget in mind for a monthly payment, shortly I am going to pick up a v6 shelby gt sc. Off the show room floor it puts out 475 hp to the wheels. My goal for this car is 600-800 hp on the wheels. It comes with borla exhaust and a pro charger super charger, and 3.73 gears. Other than that it is stock. I already plan on doing a cold air intake and getting a tuner. I figured upgrade the heads, cams, pistons, transmission, and maybe the gears? Any help and ideas would be greatly appreciated I know older stands better than newer ones.

Its a special edition built in house by Shelby America. But IIRC it has Shelby branded intake, exhuast pipes from the headers back, r-compound tires and a set of (you guessed it) Shelby branded wheels. Got a procharger, dyno tuned. Very similar to the AM v6 build. Im not sure youd be able to hit 600 without some serious engine work including forged internals. It comes with a beefed up aluminum driveshaft and full suspension upgrades.
If it were me id just get a normal v6 optioned as you want, then add everything after. Trust me youd save plenty of money compared to buying a shelby sixxer

After I asked what was a Shelby v6 I began to research it. According to the Shelby website the base package is 10,500 dollars and that does not include a supercharger or aluminum one piece driveshaft. The pro charger supercharger is approximately an additional 10k. Then the aluminum driveshaft is around 1,100 dollars. Just wondering but is that the same pro charger supercharger that AM sells for 5,100 dollars and Shelby is charging 10k for.

Yes I've been shopping around and comparing prices for several different models and seeing what people who know more about mustangs say about them. Now that I'm working at ford however, I'm selling my '94 GT conv. To put a down payment on the CS I have my friend at the dealership hooking me up with
