Default whats needed for 500bhp?

i have rs500 cooler and stage 3 at the moment

i am aware that clutch g/box etc will need uprating,

i also have a genuine rs500 t4 to fit if need be,

i want 500bhp so i might aswell do it all at once instead of going 400
first (like i planned)

cheers

Andy

Why take a car of that condition to that extreme Andy

Wud be a shame m8. Keep it simple as Ford intended, they look fast standing still

Keep saving mate

Loads of head work, cam(s), injectors, boost controller, new map, new fuel pump, new bottom end, new inlet, etc etc circa £8k+ to take it up to that level from your current spec IMO
