Howdy All -

I bought a 1994 Lightning engine today (EFI 351W roller motor with iron
GT40 style heads), with the intention of putting it into my 1968 Mustang
coupe.  The coupe is a 289 2bbl with C4 auto tranny, power steering and
non-power brakes.

I love the specs for this new engine - gobs of torque and a fair chunk of
horsepower. My question is, what are the most commonly done things to
these engines to boost performance?  If this were your vehicle, what would
you do to it to liven things up a bit?  

My goal is to beat my buddy who owns a 2004 Mustang Cobra - a factory
blown 4.6 putting out 390HP and 390 lb-ft torque.  The Lightning engine is
rated at 240HP and 340 lb-ft torque, so I am close on torque but I want to
get the total HP up as well.

I have been looking at the Ford Racing blower for the 1994 Lightning.
It's only about two grand and at 6psi boost bumps HP and torque by
around 30%.

Thoughts?

Thanks!
Thomas
