It is alot of money. I have over $11,000 in my car right now and it is just now able to handle and control the power. I still have to get the TT, trany, rearend and cams which is about another $12,000.

RE: How much torque.
I'm @ 512and I upgraded my block , tranny , valve train ,and brakes .I had a stock block with a s/c and blew the motor , and replaced the tranny 3 times . Then I forged the internals , and got a full race tranny . I just ported the heads. The thing you want to start with is the motor and heads (porting only no polish). Then the tranny comes next . After that you add your supercharger or turbo . Now you can build around that to acheive your goal . Some where in all that you should buy gears and an exhaust . Andwhen you tune ask how much a retune will cost so you can plan on it.I know a little horsepower here and there sounds good , but if you are trying to get that kind of power don't even buy pullies or a cold air intake because it will be a waste of money as you will have to get rid of them when you add the blower . Instead use that money to get things like injectors and guages you will need later . Unless you're rich and can buy and install all this at once . Take it from someone who learned the hard way it is easier if you start out with the foundation first . I built my car myself so if you need help with anything hit me up . good luck !
