The 4.2L engine debate


I am debating on whether to have a 4.2L built with a procharger by a local shop in Maryland but wanted to talk to the experts here first. I have a 2004 v6 mustang all stock TakeMyPayments.com - Lease Transfers, Trades and Assumptions
and though I will NEVER get my car to perform like this...
is it at least possible to get close?

Looking for a 300hp daily driver......am I wasting my time?....I just read SSStangs project and see Christores has soaked tons of money in his ride as well........do you guys and others who have done this feel its worth it?

tons of money? what do you consider tons? cause its not close to as much as what a 4.2L built procharger will cost. trust me i've built one

300hp daily is easy
i surpass that daily. im closer to 400RWHp daily driver here

Ok maybe tons of money was a strong statement........but if you're spending the amounts of money that could probably get you a new car then thats what I'm talking about.........but I'm not criticizing at all.........I'm trying to get where you're at!

I've seen your projects and can't even come close to your expertise when it comes to doing it myself like you which saves you thousands in labor fees.

Do you have any performance clipsand how do I see your mods?
