what does it take to get 450HP to the wheels

[DBV]

so i am new to the SHO scene, my previous car was 2014 Mustang GT premium, with a manual trans. The stock engine was rated at 420hp, with approximately 375 (+/-10% reduction for drive train parasitic drain of the rated 420HP) getting to the wheels, this equals about 9.65 lbs per 1HP, with this formula i need about 450HP to the wheels, or +/- 600HP at the flywheel for the SHO, what does it take to get this, I understand a tune, cooler spark plugs, thermostat, and a 3 bar map sensor, what else is needed? From what I have researched so far, a CAI doesn't do much. I am try to get a list of mods i need to research so i can hit this HP or as close as I can. This is a daily driver and needs to be very streetable. I also understand every dyno is different, but the basic starting point of everyones upgrades seems to be these 4 items. what kind of gains is everyone seeing with just these 4 mods. I also understand there will be diferences based on the tune provided. i know the newer Explorer ST are rated at 400HP with a smaller 3.0L Twin turbo motor, so is it concievable to get this easily with the 3.5L and more?

https://shoforum.com/threads/sho-ecoboost-modding-order.141097/ Here is a good place to start.

For 450 whp, you will be looking at turbos, downpipes, intercooler, intake, and hpfp on top of what you have listed. You may have other methods to get close like meth or E30. Check out GearHead Tunes, he has some dyno graphs. Check out AJP for a tune.

Do you have E85?

No E85

GearHead Tunes - with GH turbos - some high perf catted dps from PPE - Gearhead doesnt work "around" cats - go 3rd cat back with better corsa or equivalent exhaust. gotta let turbos breath.

Read our signatures - you got @Vestin112 and @802SHO making monster cars/power - there are many other here - read signatures closely to get ideas.

No E85

Then you will be fuel limited to around 400-415 WHP IMO
