Well, with your power goals in mind, i personally would recommend a FSwerks kit, mainly due to price point. You can run the GT2871R turbo and hit 350whp with that in conjunction with internal mods, IM and a nice 3" Turbo back. only draw back is going to be the catalytic converter for power levels.
Trust me when i say this, but anything over 300whp is near useless in a FWD vehicle, duratec with stage 2 is pretty fun ill say that, but without LSD it can be pretty useless at 8psi and up. Unless you are running some nice tires, LSD and boost by gear it can get pretty ridiculous. with that said, my goal is for 400whp on the dyno, but never more then 350 on the street and be running 245 series tires and boost by gear.
The top speed kits are very nicely made tho for sure, me personally couldn't justify the extra money if i wasnt going for north of 400whp or planned on having a race car.
good luck on your choice, however for budget fun, FSwerks zetec kit would be the perfect fit with the upgraded turbo.
