Default Quickest way to 300 HP!?

i eventually want to get up to 300 hp. what mods are the best way to get there?
headers, tune, pulley downsize on the supercharger?

any recommendations ? i already have a CAI in so what should i do next?

let me know !


(also as a side note, could an 05 monte ss beat a 98 mustang gt stick?)

I'd say headers/exhaust would be a good start. More flow is always good. Do you have any other performance mods besides CAI currently?

Why aim at such a low hp number, lol. Anyways, turbo is the quickest way to shoot WAY past 300hp (even 300whp for that matter). I wouldn't waste my time with a s/c setup. A turbo is cheaper in the long run but more expensive up front.

On the side note, a 98 GT will spank an 05 SS pretty good (assuming both driver's are competant). You're comparing a high 13 second car with a high 14 second car.

I had the smae thought. From what I've gathered from the previous disscussions the supercharger isnt well liked over turbo. Wish I'd have know that before I bought my car lol
