I completely agree w/ Hammer about the blower. That kind of boost is gonna require everything to be replaced.
Built motor w/ bolt ons, complete fuel system, stonger tranny, yadda yadda yadda.
Something w/ 6-8psi will give you 100+ hp, and will still be great for daily driving.
I again agree w/ Hammer and say check out a roots or screw style blower. You have a few choices: Saleen, Allen Engine Development, Kenne Bell, umm, I am sure there are others.
You also may want to check out stangnet.com and see whats going on w/ '01's w/ blowers. It seems that these motors are letting go w/ even less boost then the 99-00's. Possibly due to the higher CR. So 6 psi seems to be the only very safe option right now, with 8psi on the boarder of safe for daily use.
