$6-8K To Spend... On What?


i have money that i can spend soon...i may spend it on the mustang or i may save it...yeah this is going to sound like MX's threads but im going all around not just motor...i'd like to get good parts, but if the summit or jegs brand is just as good list that...heres what im looking towards

stock 302 block, stock bore (54k miles) and stock stroke
trick flow twisted wedge 2.02s
custom cam (crower, comp, jay allen or ed curtis)
either trick flow street heat or holley systemax
sticking with my 1.6's from HS
im thinking 75mm TB, 80-90MM MAF, 42lb Injectors w/ my 255lph FP

and yes 42lbers cuz i wanna do an vortech s/c...(which i dunno)

exhuast, wanna do longtubes, x-pipes and cat-back...

suspension..which ratio (90/10-50/50 etc..) shocks and struts..springs? which control arms..doing comp engineering sub-frames

i wanna do 4:10's, 5lug conversion? best 8.8" rebuild??

how to get an t5 to handle 500hp or so..(besides shifting correctly and stuff)

anything else i'll need?? im keeping stock block cuz i only want 450-500hp..

or just give me the money to put with the parts I have to do a twin turbo.....lol....and yeah I know speedy I am probably wearing people out with my threads buy I am very excited to get all my parts and start this build. My wife and I (she fking loves racing cool huh?) are really looking forward to the build....I am so glad I found MM and all of you guys to help me out without yall I would not have spent about 7 grand lol....I would have probably just done the normal air intake exhaust, chip, and little mods....I think you should go with it and do the combo you first told me.....you know what you are doing bro alot more than me

get new pistons and then you can get better heads. youll need them if you want to put real boost into that vortec. oh and make sure you have more money left over so you can buy a new block after it dies.

PRO-M has that 95 mm MAF unless you think that would be too big

id go UPR double adj. on the upper and lower control arms

latemodelrestoration.com has a 5-lug conversion for 400

FRPP has a carbon disc rebuild kit for like 11o for the trac lok

in my opinion i would go with the trickflow intake since your doin trickflow heads

i think there the 02's...there the street/strip ones, not the basic TWs, there 1300...yeah the CO1's will obviously be better for you're stroker, but are the 2.02's or bigger..i would have gone bigger than 170cc with that big a stroker...
