What you do first is post this in the correct forum.

How is adding a blower, a good tuneand keeping the boost level within an acceptible range not doing it right? Here's the deal, your working with a very little motor, unless you want to spend gobs of money, a blower is going to be the cheapest, most reliable way to reach your goal.

yea but the stock bottom end will not hold up to 500hp very well...and yea of course i want to blow it but shouldnt i change the rods, pistons, etc and would a blower even get me to 500hp?

Get a blower at like 8 or 9 psi or something. That won't be 500hp, but having the blower on there will give you the prefect building ground to strengthen up the engine. Then you can do things that compliment the blower, like blower cams, low compression pistons, etc... When the car can handle 500 hp, just change the pulley on the blower and you get more boost.

There's no reason to see 500 hp as being out of reach. Forged internals should be put on your shopping list though. No question about that.

I wish I knew why people set a hp goal like this in the first place. To me, a ET goal is a better way to go about things. And lets be realistic here, a 500 hp motor is more power than 99% on here can fathom. That's and easy low 11 second car, more than enough to beat 99% of the cars you run into out on the street. Also are we talking RWHP or crank HP? 500 at the crank is about 450ish rwhp and there are plenty of 97 Cobras out there putting down that kind of power.

So much for the section MODS getting together and agreeing on forum rules.[&:]
