Okay. Well your gonna need some rear gears. Then your going to need some kind of forced induction and a forged block, seriously.. and idk if you can get that with 8 grand. Bolt ons, good tires, a prayer, another prayer, a short throw shifter setup, and even then, idk what you will be capable of doing. Go buy a termie.

Forge your lower end and go crazy with boost. That is about it.

You will beat whichever cars are slower than you.

Forget going crazy on the motor and getting all concerned with HP #'s. Put the $$ in a killer suspension set up, good set of sticky tires and a 100-125 shot of N2O. Then take the $6K of the $8K you were gonna spend and put it in the bank earning interest.

You'll need a forged motor, axles, diff, gears, clutch, forced induction of some form, and sticky tires and suspension to put down new found power. Good luck.
