I dont give a sh*t who knows -

Heres a fact -
If you are actually considering this, you are a fkking moron.

Another brain buster -
Why would you spend 25k on a car when you live on a boat
9-15months in a row?

If those dollar figures of you re-enlisting are true, throw 96% of it into a Savings account and take the remaining 4% and get high enough that you end up actually thinking you own a money pit like that.

I'll bet you 90k that if you go through with this build you will lose interest in 3-6months.

So I'm guessing going with a compounded setup is overkill based on everyones expressions.

And I thought my 45k bonus in 09 was a lot.... Just put a built motor, boost it and save or invest the rest. Don't blow it all and this is coming from a 23 year old.

If you have a good TT kit, you will actually be less efficient by trying the compound boost setup. Just buy the TT kit and a 01 cobra intake and be done instead of trying to supercharge and TT. 650 hp is nothing for a TT kit to make... even a very small kit will make that easily.

tt kit, built motor, good fuel setup, and a good tune can be more than enough to get you to that power goal.

Take some of the money and invest it into a good suspension setup though.. would sure suck to not have traction with all that power and end up with a tree where your shiny new motor is.

Dont need 20k to get to 650rwhp get a 2.8 KB mammoth kit and run 24#'s or more and you will be there, but like Aereon said invest in some suspension or that HP will be worthless

+1 I went from 260 rwhp to 395 rwhp and its a big difference it took a little bit to get used to but jumping from 260 straight to 650 may result in a bad learning curve if you have never had a car with more then 400 rwhp
