Boring and stroking is going to be big bucks. Gears will mess up Syncro Rev Match in the manual and Rev Matched Downshifts in the automatic transmission, just something to be aware of. The pulleys, intake, exhaust and tuning will get you to maybe 390 HP at the flywheel (about 330 HP at the wheels). I'm NA myself but if I was after a big power bump I'd go with the Stillen supercharger kit, it's an excellent choice if you actually want to drive the car as opposed to constantly working on it. The Stillen kit doesn't have the power of the turbo kits but it has good torque and decent top end. Their stuff always seems to be very well thought out with good attention to detail. It is the only one that I'm aware of that is CARB approved (a very difficult thing to do and it says a LOT about the quality of the system) and it looks very OEM when you pop the hood.
I've figured this would run about $4-$5000, doing some of the work myself. I'm not too interested in porting/polishing but I thought Id throw it in to see what anyone would say. I've heard gears are a wonder on the 370 and I used to have a gear mustang and it was the best mod I had really. I really don't want any power adders, just personal. I'd also be going with a twin plate clutch, lighter flywheel and driveshaft. Thanks for the all that info! I appreciate it man

A 4.5L stroker kit will run you around $6k
Exhaust+LTH - $2200ish
Cold air & intake manifold - $1000

Doing the work yourself is going to help a lot on labor since the costs above are just for the parts. If you get this going it will be a great build since no one has done a NA build yet like this.
