Default what is the most hp you can get from a 2v

Hey guys.. I know that this has been discussed before but I could not find it in the search.. what is the most hp you have seen in a 2v. I am trying to decide whether to try a 4v conversion or just keep the 2v and trick it out as mush as possible. Thanks guys.

Over on Modular power house their Kenne Belle GT just put down 83x rwhp...on 7 cylinders. They are going to get that fixed and then throw a 250 shot on top of that.

2v's arent bad, you just have to add F/I.

Hey Shadowfoxx the guys are right. I have heard that with stock internals you can see about 400-500safely, but after that it's all a risk. If you build up your internals, you would have no problem handling up to 700 or more. I am in the same situation as you, but don't know what to go with.

Thanks for all the feedback guys.. I appreciate the help..

yeah.. it's going to cost big $$$ either way but I am looking for the best way (low cost, good quality, and safe) to get the car to around 700hp -750hp. what do you guys think the best way to get that done would be.. .. keeping the 2v (if its possible) and adding whatever is necessary or doing a 4v conversion and adding what is necessary?

If staying 2V then oder a new shortblock with billit parts, stage 2 or 3 heads and cams with a Reichard Racing Intake and Twin Turbos. That will get you to 1000hp if you get big enough turbos. You will need to upgrade your tranny and rear etc to handle 700hp+

A 2v would work just fine. First, pull the motor. Im not sure if the actual block would handle that hp, so you may have to order a new block from a company such as Dart. Get the motor forged of course. Strap on a turbo or blower. Add nitrous. Then upgrade basically everything else on the car so it can handle the power.

You're looking at around 20-30k in parts and labor alone. I hope you have deep pockets.

why do you want 700-750 hp? Is there a goal you are going for (the reason i am asking)? you can go fi and get 500 or over at the crank pretty easily. But if you are talking that much, yeah, you better have serious dough. dreamer or realistic?
