Exclamation Question on a 1998 Mustang Cobra

Do Performance Pistons Rods and Crank Give you horsepower? If so how much?

Also if you have 500+ Horsepower is it a good idea to keep stock injectors or get 42lb or 60lb injectors. And Performance Fuel Pump?

What are some major horsepower Gainers that are not to to expensive? I am looking to get between 600 - 700 Horsepower

I already have a list of things to give me more than that but to make sure i get it i would like to get more than that becuase you dont ever get what they say you will. Thanks and have a great day.

Only if they increase displacement or compression.

yea unless ur stroking it or bring the compression ratio up you wont feel much of a differance other than its a new engine..but if ur doing all that u can add a nice power adder...but u have to do other mods for like big shot of nitrous turbo or blower...but befor u go and rebuild it u have to know what mods you are goin to dao after u rebuild the motor. that all plays a role in the pistons and rod ....take this for example if u go and rebuild it and lets say u now have 11 to 1 compression now thats to high to put a turbo or blower.just sit down and think of what u wanna do ...all the mods u do have to coraspond with each other or ur car could go slower or ever blow up..ive seen so many people just buy parts and not go fast ..just like my buddy hes got prolly 5 grand in his 1989 5.0 and its barley braking into the 12's...all the mods just mave to work with each other or ur just throwing money down the crapper...from reading your other questions u should got to a local proformance shop and talk to them so they can point u in the right direction

and that 700hp mark is not going to be in any way cheap at all..ur gonna be looking at acompletly done up engine and a 5 grand procharger,,,the stock fuel system will not hold up to that much power .. so un less u have 10 or 20 grand just burning a hole in ur pocket i wouldnt loose any sleep over getting 700 hp cheap its just not gonna happen...well it could if u get a 400 shot of nitrous but the engine would give out after like 3 seconds and ull prolly blow the intake thro the hood lol

Hello goodyear. Please check out my listing that you left a reply on on the modular forum. It says all the Mods i already am getting. So when i say i want cheap horsepower i mean after i put the 7 grand or more in for the things that i already am getting. So do you have and ideas. I just also bought a 100 HP , 125 HP , 150 HP , 200 HP changeable shot of Nos. Along with the others listed in that other listing. Thanks and have a great day.
