RE: 450 hp what do i need?
Best thing to do is slap a blower on there, then worry about the other stuff. Keep the blower around 8 or 9 psi, and you should be fine on stock everything else.
Then save up a bunch of money, and get a forged short block, higher flowing heads, and blower cams.
Then save up another batch of money, and throw in a TKO 500/600 tranny, or a built automatic, with a high performance clutch.
Then for the final bunch of moolah, get a stronger posi, better gears, 31 spline axles, and a stronger girdle for the rear end. Might wanna throw an aluminum driveshaft in there, they're not that expensive.
Then get a smaller pulley for the blower, up the boost to 14 or 15psi, and you'll be way over 500rwhp...and about $20,000 poorer...
