hello guys, hope this is in the right section. I have a 03 gt 5spd. I would like to make it 700-750rwhp daily driver. it may go to the track every once in a blue moon. I have done some searching but would like input from yall.

I know it will need new internals; pistons, crank, rods, rings
cams for sure
want to do twin 66mm turbos
clutch
38-42# injectors

here are my questions, what would be good cams for f/I motor?
who makes the best internals?
what clutch would hold that power?
any good shops in the san Antonio texas area?

the car has a sct livewire tuner now, cai, bbk 78mm throttle body, cat back exhaust. clutch in it now seems real stiff, so it might already have clutch work done

are there any more weak points that I haven't read about?

I am new to the car thing but no dummy to high hp vehicles. I do a lot of high hp diesels. I have 2 dodges 900hp+.

You will most defiently need to upgrade the suspension. Sub frame connectors would be a great start along with lower and upper control arms etc.,. You'll also need a reallly good tire. Putting that much rwhp to the rear wheels will make driving almost impossible without good tires. I would also check your clutch. To hold that much power you'll most def need a high grade clutch. It's tons more stuff so Im preety sure some one will chime in.

I have doubts that there will be anything that remotely resembles "daily driver" with the power level you're proposing and all of the other changes/improvements that will be necessary to the car as a whole to get there, but if you have the money to do this then it will still be one hell of a car anyway. Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.

I want it reliable, so if it cost a couple thousand extra then fine to know I can make the power and it still hold together. that's what I mean by dd. something I can possibly detune to around 500-550rwhp and drive everyday and real quick turn the boost controller up to the 750ish range.

whats wrong with the uca's and lca's? I don't want to drop the car, it has some suspension done to it for road racing, seems a bit stiffer then a stock car which will all change as I want it softer in the rear to transfer weight. where can I get sub frame connectors?

tires are something im looking at but that's last on the list as it will be the cheapest. I don't want to tub it, but I will prob be on some 12-14wide proxis tires in the rear and prob 8wide in the front. I will get some beadlocks and slicks for if or when I take it to the track.

anyone have a place or 2 for the forged internals? the cast block seems to be able to hold that power and boost just fine. also do they make a 4v head that will bolt on?
