chip and tune can see you round the 250-270rwkw cost 1000-2000

sky is the limit. first would def be custom dyno tune. then when looking for more power ntake , cooler, cooler piping, valve springs, bigger injectors, full exhast with say a 4" dump, but u will need to give it another tune, then u will be lookin around the 350 rwkw mark, but common issue is the diff to become loose and start to produce black lash, also your diff bush will wear out and will need to be replaced. find a place with proven results to do the work. my old car had 307.6 rwkw that was just with a tune, but it was at its max max

ah yeah cool cool, so really no point in upgrading the cooler and adding a boost gauge, so chip and tune first or can Upgrade cooler and chip and then dyno tune?

well if you have the money to upgrade then i would look into a new plenum and intercooler set up with a chip and then a final tune, also youl want bigger injectors

Get to know the current characteristic of the car first.
example: will it stop in time when I brake late before entering a corner at speed & how much body roll it has before the rear gives way. if it feels like the car is tram tracking when braking and to much body/tyre roll noises then it might be advisable to look into the suspension & braking system first. remember it's a new heavier car to you so get use to it before thinking of dashing around the block with quick go fast engine mods.

The power is not a problem with me, i can handle it, Ive driven much more power cars than this one. as my dad owns a nice and fast mustang. but i know what you mean yes the suspension is a must and will def not be look past, but just after some more power my aim is 300rwkw thats all im after so need guidance if possible to aim for that.
cheers kyle

do everything at once, dont just get a re-tune because 250rwkw gets boring pretty quickly and youll be paying for retunes when you get sick of it...
decide how far you want to go and get everything you need first do - air intake - cooler - cat converter - catback (or hotdogs for some sound) then drive to your tuner to get your injectors, fuel pump and valve springs done drive away with 300+rwkw allow approx $4000 (can be done cheaper depending on what parts you get) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- if you want more than that you should upgrade - dump and catback - surge tank - wastegate / actuator and drive away with 350+ rwkw alow approx another $3000

youll need a sure tank to stop fuel surge, youll need this when you go over about 320rwkw, some people do some people dont, they just make sure they have enough fuel in the tank when gving the car a good boot.
you can run 12-13 on the std actuator, if you go higher youll need to upgrade otherwise boost wont be easily controlled also, i wouldnt recomend running more than 10 psi on the 5 speed box...boom
