Default RE: Lets Go Turbo

riggs,

not trying to be argumentative here by a long stretch but what's the endstate you're looking for?

my eventual goal was 600rwhp potentially (many years down the line) but that's after extensive modification (internals, the block, clutch, transmission). My initial, shorter term goal is a car in the mid 11's at the 1/4mile with some decent suspension modifications. the rest can come later.

with a turbo like the one 1QB is referring to, you can hit 11's at 450-ish rwhp and do quite a bit (driver dependant obviously, lol!). taking it past that point will require all of the mods u initially mentioned for safety, and on the PH turbo, the hellion turbo as well, u can reach 600rwhp with the stock system, assuming you are willing to take the risk.....even if you get forged internals, build up the block, there are still some significant risks.

to do all of that in one sitting to hit that hp safely, you're gonna be spending a ton. so, what's your budget? that might definitely help define your goals a bit more clearly and then the guys here who are very knowledgeable can give u the advice you're looking for.
