How much horse power can my car handle?

[SBSVT]

I have a 97 Mustang GT and so far I've lowered it with KYB shocks and Eibach springs. I've also put on a summit racing off road h-pipe and flowmaster 40's. I'm leaving for basic training for the army soon and when i get done with my training and get to my duty statioin I want to do a pulley set, program, and a kenne bell 2.1L supercharger intercooled kit. Im guessing I'll probably make around 350-400hp with everything listed. If I leave everything stock and only do the work I said above will the stock internals, transmission, and rear end be able to with stand that power for everyday driving and occasional weekend drags?

The bottom end will be fine.

The transmission will be fine as well, although you may want a new clutch.

The rear end will be fine also, but maybe rebuild the Trac loc

BUT, KB doesn't make a bolt on NPI blower kit anymore. But I can help you out with parts selection there to make it work, OR you could just do a vortech which would be the easiest/cheapest/probably best idea.

First thing to do is get rid of your NPI intake anyway. And you might want to ask Paul to move this to the 2v section, because alot of those guy's never look over here.

Thank's Javi, I like to argue with a specialized section of the forum at a time lol

+1 on the vortech being the easiest...but definately swap a pi intake on there atleast.

Do a PI swap and then add a supercharger you will be very happy.
