If you have 20k to spend then warantee really shouldnt be an issue. KB supercharger/supporting mods and a built engine, possibly some tranny work would be the route I would take.

20k seriously?

with that kind of money, i would have gone for the vette instead of the stang....even though i'm a life long stang fan, and don't particularly like chevys...ha!

i say drop a couple of superchargers in there, couple tanks of nitrous....some side mounted machine guns, heat seeking missiles....and you GOTTA have a laser on there somewhere....

If you do indeed have 20 grand to go with then I would take this route. Do all the internal work on your engine, little bit of tranny work and build that rear end also. I to would go with the KB. Don't forget, you can have all the power in the world, but if you can't get it to the ground, it does no good. So, suspension work also.

I'd invest it, this way in 3 years when you go buy another car, you have 80 grand in investments instead of being 4 grand upside down in your trade in, lol! I mean a few grand is one thing, but 20k is another deal!

Invest 15k, and after u invest the 15k, use the remainder on your car, u can do plenty to these on a budget. Thats my opinion...

Wow!!! Decision, decisions, decisions.

I agree with all the posts given the financial situation you're in.

For instance, if you have the kind of job that allows you to **** money , then go buck wild like strengthing your motor/tran/brakes/and suspension!!!!!!!.

If 20k are hard to come by, then I would definetly invest it.... ALLLL OFFF IIIITTTT!

IMO the financial stability should be your driving factor....
