Goal: 620-650rwhp/XXXrwtq Mid-High 10’s on a DR.
Kenne Bell 2.8LC Polished Tuner Kit - $6949
I have some 60# injectors already. Will I need the BAP? If so, Add $259
Pros: Can keep stock gears (3.15) and stock converter and still 60’ decent. Clean Install. No need for Intake Manifold.
Cons: More expensive. Installation a little harder than the Paxton.
Paxton 2200SL Polished “Beefcake Special” - $5400-$5600
Includes ID1000 injectors, Vortech BAP, and extra pulley
Pros: Cost and room for growth. Easiest Install
Cons: Will probably need gears/converter/Boss IM to get it out of the hole. Less grunt off the line?
Hellion Twin Turbo Tuner Kit - $7295 from Power Adder Solutions
Use the 60# injectors? BAP? If so, add $259 using KB.
Pros: Cool, great power per PSI, tons of room for growth.
Cons: Cost, installation time
For All Options: Will the 60# injectors be enough? Require BAP? Problematic to tune?
Oil Pump Gears required?
Keep the stock gearing and converter?

Any of those options will easily help you meet your goal which is relatively easy to meet with these cars. It really comes down to your driving style and how you use the car.
A centri blower on these cars isn't really like what it use to be on on past Mustangs lacking low end because the motor now has
double the power a fox used to have. These cars are beasts with centri blowers making power all the way to the redline. Beefcake is making over 1000rw with his car and drives it everyday.
PD blowers are a blast to drive around town making instant torque. It routinely takes around 100hp less to go 10's with a Roush blower in comparison to a centri blower.
Turbos, well there is nothing I can tell you about turbos that you don't already know Doug. I spent 2 hours speaking with John Urist at SEMA about that kit and saw it in person on that green car. The ONLY cutting on that kit is the $50 dollar piece on the lower valance that is easily replacable. The same can't be said on several centri kits. The downside of the turbo kit is the cost and the extensive installation which will take awhile. But once it's together, look out because it will be a monster.
IMO, I don't think there is really a wrong way to go because these cars respond so well to boost. It really comes down to your budget and driving style. I've already made my choice and I'm really looking forward to it. It's going to be a blast!
