I started working at Ford now and I'm getting a great deal on a 2014 GT/CS. I test drove a GT and loved it. My goal for this mustang is to top out around 800hp to the wheels. Shouldn't be too hard since it comes with a little over 400. I already plan on doing pulleys, intake, exhaust, and supercharger. Any other ideas?

At the time I started this I was still doing a lot of research, I've got most of it done now, it's just a matter of saving up for the parts while I let my warranty run its course, I ended up going with a 2013 5.0 base, I plan on going with mostly boss parts. I intend to make this car a track car but keep it some-what street legal. My first plan of attack once the warranty is up is to completely forge the bottom end, and build from bottom up. I'm looking at boss forged pistons, either boss forged cams or stage 2 comp cams, either a boss intake with a centrifugal supercharger or a whipple supercharger, but I've also been contemplating a twin turbo set up, I'm still researching which would be better for my end goal. As for suspension I plan on going with eibach coil overs, ford racing sways, and maximum motorsports caster camber plates. I've already researched an aluminum one piece driveshaft, I have the stock 3.55 gears in now but plan on kicking it up to either 3.73 or 4.10.

But I will say our USA made tools are so much better. My bostich guns were made in America before and they moved them over to sum Asian country, I've had nothing but problems. It's just the quality isn't there, not insulting, just saying quality isn't there.
