dude a HCI swap like the TF stage 1 kit = 2200 buck alone puts you into the low 300s and the 12s... 9 lbs of boost ontop of that would easily bump you above 400(with a good tune)...

Now youll need a good suspension to go with it and youll be cooking with gasoline

that kit does not put you in low 300s, atleast not to the wheels, at crank yes.

To get 400-450 hp with a stock block, with a good set H/C/I? And a supercharger?
Been there, done that. $3,000 = supercharger and nitrous. No H/C/I needed.

But... because of my addiction, I am going to spend an extra $2,000 - $2,200 and do an H/C/I swap just for hte hell of it.

you now all you guys that are like o yea nitrous and power adder and youll make it .. u guys are lucky that you dont blow your motor, with no engine work the engine really isnt supposed 2 handle all the extra pressure and heat so um i would say no. if your gonna try to reach 400-450, to do it right and make it last your gonna need to build your motor with the right parts that can handle the added pressure and heat, then add the nitrous and supercharger. then you will make 400-450 that will last

Buy an aftermarket block first and then do h/c/i and more boost.
