Cool deal Victor glad your home. Of all the mods you listed. You will be most impressed with the supercharger. My son has an 89 notchback, fairly stock 302, with a powerdyne supercharger. At 5 ot 6 lbs of boost this thing breaks the tires loose at 80 to 90 mph in 4th gear and tries to swap ends on ya, Oh what fun! While your considering your build you might want to rethink all the head work porting polishing etc. as a supercharged engine doesn't really need all that. Don't get me wrong it will help. But the supercharger will produce results way above your expectations, even without the extra work. And you can save the extra money you would have spent on the heads and porting, for something else. Just a thought. JTS 71 Mach1

Well this is my first mustang .... however not my first build....
im trying to get as close to 600 HP without running a chance of blowing the motor or having to tear down the motor for internal work ..... so the way i figure is by doing some of these mods will help extend the life of the motor while running a supercharger... i have seen many things go wrong with superchargers sooo but i do appreciate the advice and will definately take it into consideration

Update
Well since i have been running into some minor issues with getting a shop to align with my work schedule for working on the car i decided to work on some of the interior pieces. I took out the front defrost vent (the one that goes all the way across the front dash) and the left and right window defrost vents (the small ones by the doors) and the coin holder from the center console. I cleaned these parts with basically a stripper for plastic to take any film or residue off so its just the plastic.
then primed them with a light coat of primer(for plastic lol) and then painted them ..... any guesses what color??? Torch Red to match the outside.... they came out really well no blemishes, runs, bubbles, or cracks in the paint and definitely make the interior stand out better.
As soon as i can get one of the shops im trying to work with to have an opening on a day i can get off work early enough to get the car there my 4:10 gears w/ full rear axle rebuild kit, clutch kit, and all that fun stuff will be done at once along with the tune so itll run right.
I will have some pics that im sending to Mach1Club for resizing since my apple devices seem to like taking pictures that exceed the size limit lol But i think everyone will like them
