Depending on what the current Compression on the motor is, when you get forged pistons and rods, lower it to 9.5:1 (no clue what it is stock) so that you can put the most boost in.

RE: gt build 10k
Well your gonna need some serious bucks to get you there. More then 10 grand. You will need a whole new block, forged internals, all the engine goodies, new tranny, new fuel system, probally a built or new rear end, the new kenne bell, and alot for gas. Your looking at way over your planned budget. If you really want 600 RWHP, get a cobra and throw a kenne bell on that. Trust me it will be cheaper when all is said and done. You will only need minor mods to keep it running good.
