If its bone stock, look into getting a good tune put on the car. Long tube headers, pulley swap. Or you could pull the roush m90 charger off and put a TVS on it and make 500+. But if it were me, Id go ahead and forge the bottom end then work my way up. More room to grow once the block is done. Then you can max the forced induction part out.

$3000?

Dyno Tune, Suspension parts (LCAs, UCA) and aluminum Driveshaft, drag radials, and gears if you don't already have them, and long tubes.... BUT, Kipps idea is a very good option as well.

I probably would say get a TVS and a underdrive pulley. That way you won't make to much power to kill your bottom end. Then the TVS will last you untill you get a built bottom end and then put your stock pulleys and get 600+ to the wheels.

Or get gears, tune, longtubes, drag radials, aluminum driveshaft, suspension, smaller blower pulley, etc.

I guess it depends on what you want to do with the car.

OP it really depends on what your ultimate goal for the car is. If you just want to swap pullies and do all the bolt ons, or forge the engine and go with a different power adder. If you could be a bit more specific in what your looking to do with the car that would help us with the recommendations you are looking for.

Sorry so brief earlier. The car is a 2008 convertible supercharged 5sp. It has the complete roush suspension and brake kit. I am looking to improve 1/4 mile performance. I would like to buy a tvs in the future and crank up the boost. I plan to purchase a set of drag radials, the car currently rolls on 18" factory wheels. I would like to stick with those wheels. Any suggestions on a shop within three or four hrs of S.E. Ky. I hope this helps. All suggestions appreciated.

Thanks

There is a shop in Florence, Modular Depot which is roughly 3-4 hours depending on where you are. Where at in S.E Ky are you exactly? I too am from the same general area.
