Unless somethings changed Crower is the same thing as BC or Brian Crower. I think in the last cam test done by AMS and from some drivers on this forum's own personal experiences the BC cams are a little down on power compared to the other option. Gains wern't that great...do a search on this board.
Not too many people run them.

Our IX pulled 320/302 @ 24PSI on STM's Mustang with just a (quiet) TBE w/HFC, MBC, drop-in filter, and a Buschur FMIC - factory turbo, no cams, no IC pipes, nothing ported/coated, engine bay looks stock. That's not a lot of parts for ~100whp with factory-like or better drivability. FWIW, the car ran strong with just a MBC and a tune. That's my bang for the buck suggestion for a IX.

btw i read most of this thread injen piping system is perfect. I have made many additions to mine to have it running smooth op pm me for more details on that this is how i understand it and what i would do if i were you
e85
double pumper
pte 1200cc injectors
bbk full
exedy twin clutch
Call it a night. you will need way more gas on e85 hints the 1200cc to push it and double pumper so you dont run out of gas. the clutch is just to hold the new found power and the bbk full because at this point you will want to make more power and you will exceed 350 with that upgrade and be in the 400-420 range in power. then the all imporant tune
enjoy
also should note if your not going e85 then

i think e85 is the way to go! makes power and is cheap. station is about 20 mins from my dads job so i will just get 55 gallons at a time. i just realized that i am on a new oem clutch with about 8k on it. stock clutch good to about 350ish im guessin?
thanks to all for input so far!

Some other things you may want to look at:
Ported Intake and 65mm throttle body
Cams
AFR / Boost Gauge (it's not really clear which one you have)
With all of the above you will see what you are capable of making on the stock turbo and can adjust your power requirements from there, i.e. a little more power, a lot more power, or just right.
Rockman's suggestion about the clutch is a good one, but I would not get one installed until yours gives out. As long as you're not launching it, the stock clutch should last for a little while (perhaps have one handy, just in case).

I will be gettin a wideband for sure! But tryin to decide on wat else. I hear power can be made on stock cams wit a good tune. I am leaning towards bbk and e85. I just dont want to spend 500 or more for a double pumper.
