The only true limit is your how thick your wallet is. There are plenty of 'free mods' you can do that will help regain some lost power due to stock restrictions.

What is your budget look like? And what mustangs are we talking? Old 5.0's, New 5.0's, 4.6 GT's, Cobra's, etc...

Welcome to CamaroZ28.com!!!

You need to post on the "LT1 Based Engine Tech" for help with the engine. A buddy's heavy 97 SS convertible made 1,125HP with a Vortech blown 383ci LT1 and ran 9.04 @ 156MPH. As noted above, it all depends on your budget.

As you build the HP, you will need to upgrade the suspension (post on "Suspension, Chassis and Brakes" forum) and beef up the drivetrain (post on "Drivetrain" forum).

Good luck with the new ride!
