A blower cam should do it. It would help if you had headers.

Have you thought about ECS from your location?? They are close to Connecticut... 4 hour drive and your there!
I cant say anything bad about A&A at all, but ECS is close! 609-752-0321

I made 608whp with 1 3/4 ARH's, catless x pipe, A&A blower cam, and of course an A&A supercharger (Si-v3).

My '04 z was just done by them.On the first pull on an SC600 ECS system(Novi) it made 603/568. I had ar long headers, hf cats and no meth. Completely stock everywhere else. They dialed it back a little per my request and it still made 580rwhp.Not sure on the torque.

I'd look to calling ECS

You can taop 600 rwhp with the A+A and longtube headers on our Mustang dyno.

i would suggest some upgraded valvesprings and check the cam sprocket bolts while doing the install.

You have a stock engine. I wouldn't stress it too much. You may want to consider just putting the SC on the car and driving it awhile. Forego the cam and maybe even the headers. You won't make as much power. You'll still have a very brisk ride though. I'd think about waiting to do the cam when you want more power or destroy the engine. That way your labor costs will be lower and you can do it all at once. Just a thought. Add some meth. I wouldn't build a stock FI motor without it. Obviously you can add the cam and headers now. It's just money. I like the idea of upgrading the springs although on a stock motor you won't want to add too much boost or rev the engine too high. So your stock springs may be ok for now. Just some random thoughts.

Because your spending 2X more money. Your Gonna have to pin the crank for the blower.Your 85% to putting the cam in. Your gonna have to have it tuned,well when he wants a cam and has to tear the front back off,its more time and money.Then he needs another Tune. F/I tunes are from $500-750. Not to mention basically re-installing the blower kit! Do it all at the same time.One tune! One labor rate!
