Not a ford fan especially a cumstain... I mean Mustang.
I always have to be different, I think my next project will be a 72 opel GT with an ecotec in it. I know where there is a shell in a barn and the owner will give it to me, I used to work with her late husband.

well automatics rob hp, and if your going to constantly be doing neutral drops your going to eat your transmission up, id invest in a manual transmission first, especially since your going be well under 300hp.
then invest in bolt ons, cai, full exhaust, port and polish intake and heads. But none of this is going to help you unless you get a TUNE afterwards. Then spray 50 shot of nitrous. I think you will be more then happy and atleast keep up with a srt4.
Thats basically the best bang for the buck without doing a full motor build.

Auto's are better for racing
Bolt Ons (CAI, Exhaust, Port/Polish Intake & Heads), with a tune...wont make much power. But would still be noticable.
I'll be honest, if you have to use NOS to keep up with a stock car...you're racing a different class of car and you should set your sights lower...or get some sort of forced induction.

naw, just messing with you. But really though, none of the ecotecs is really any better than the others, except the LNF. supercharge 2.4 > supercharged 2.2 >supercharged 2.0. Same applies for N/A and turbo. They all have the same valvetrain, almost identical flowing heads, same cam profiles, etc. The only differences are compression ratios and displacements (along with the LSJ having oil squirters for the pistons)also, just FYI, that 370hp is only about 290whp
