I think you should do the $4500 setup BBYBruno suggest...but do it to your car and your new buddy Dridge11's car. Then spend the extra $1000 on some curb feelers and fuzzy dice.

contact robi spec and have him setup your car.. wide body front fenders, 17x9 wheels, RRE race spec dampers, then SAFCII AVCR 264/264 cams TME turbo, ams lower ic pipe and a turbo back and you will have an autox beast... spend the rest on some nice ralliart dressups to de rice the car. If you have someone around you who can properly tune the safcII on a mustang dyno your going to make more power then a mildly flashed car + its cheaper.

Plan A

JIC Coil-overs muellerized
Stop tech brakes
Turbo-back exhaust
Cams
Fuel Pump
ARP head studs-$100
AEM install and tune
Exedy Clutch
Upgraded SS clutch lines


If you have money over a nice set of lightweight volks or ssr comps.

Plan B

TT turbo kit with AEM + alky install and tune (great turbo for daily driver)
Stop techs
Exedy clutch

Leftover money on a pair of lightweight rims

aem ems~2500 w/all the goodies

I personally don't like the gt35 recipes. There all the same and you know the power thats going to come out of them. I dont think thats any fun.

Whats interesting is taking a more conservative turbo and choosing parts to your liking and then seeing your results!

Cookie cutter gt35r's borring.....just my opinion.

AEM Cam Gears $340
ARP Head Studs $96
Ferrea Valve Springs & Retainers $550
Forge RS BOV $180
Forge Actuator $165
Nisei IC & Piping $1150
Nisei Mini Battery Kit $220
Invidia Exhaust Manifold Pending
Invidia 02 Housing Pending
A-Spec Ti TBE Pending/ Test Pipe is out.
WR Secret Weapon Intake $210

Total= $4511

This set-up is sick!

Then get a nice tune from a tuner of your choice. You could also add an alky kit if you want.
WHP? Hard to say, anyone else want to chime in?

But this set-up will probably put you in the mid 11's. Depending on driver.
