1999 Ford Mustang Cobra..What to do next

tjharris · 02-21-2010, 11:39 PM

I have a 1999 rio red cobra mustang and I am slowly on my way to modding it. I want to atleast get up 550hp. All I have is a Jlt cold air intake installed. I was wondering if anyone could give me any suggestions as to what part I should do next or a list of parts that will help me get to my goal.

550 hp is a big task for the 99, is your car in stock form currently?

I don't mean to be pointed but sell your 32V 4.6L and buy a crate motor for 550 hp.

You will have to have either a blower or a turbo to get those numbers in which the stock pistons would not be able to handle that power.

Procharger!!!

a supercharger and full exhaust should get you 400-450 at the wheels, any more power and you will to build the motor up. also a good tune is very important.

What's your budget?

550 is going to be expensive.
