yeah and you get there with headwork, a good set of heads and some forged internals and good intake manifolds and so on, expensive. trust me im in the process of building one and my grandfather did all the machine work on it and it is still not cheap.

How about the stock long block GSR's pushing 500 whp with bolt on pimpshit and OMG JDM TUENARING That is some insane MaD tI-iTe 3rD gEaR v-TeCh y0!
Hrm, a quick perusal of the LS1 forums will show near-800 whp out of stock LS1... thread I am thinking of was at 12.5:1 AFR, the guy was so excited he posted the dyno sheet to the internet before adding fuel and taking another pull... and that is a punkass junkass engine if there ever was one. Broken cranks, split blocks, bent pushrods, fuckmullet oil pumps.
Son, they get 400 whp reliably out of Ford 2.3T - have you ever seen one of those HEADS? It makes Mini-Mopar 2.2 look like a gift from God. Try breathing through a turd pls kthx.
How about the stock block Toy 3S-GTE pushing mid-700 whp with bolt ons? Secret Services, google it.
Huh. You sure don;t know much about cars, and what they can do if you exchange reliability for hot, sweaty, trackstar action.
Look for the budget 351W Capri. Or log into jyturbo@yahoogroups and talk to guys that know Sitar, his brother, his father, etc. He's old school. Works for Eaton, with roots blowers, daily.
