Don't forget about the cost of very good brakes and suspension. If you're going to add that much power, you better make sure you can keep it in a strait line and stop it. Otherwise you're just building a death trap.

I guess nobody remebers the Shelby's with the Paxtons???? Were the "special" engines.No. Were they forged?No. The blowers were also a $250 dealer add on.

then theres absolutely no point to wasting money on a blower if you can only get 400hp safely outta it.
might as well rebuild with forged internals, heads, cam, intake, etc etc. run it all motor. 400hp is nothin for an all motor 302.
if someone was to get a blower, then you might as well run a decent amount of boost and try hitting around 500-600 hp on a built motor. no need to waste 3 or 4 grand on a blower project and only get 400hp from it. not to mention the risk of blowing it up....

Guys, you can run a blower stock motor just fine. The rods are fordged and the crank will out last the block. The pistons are weak if they are cast. Just need to be careful on the tune. A cast piston won't take as much rattling from detonation. Det. will kill anything, but cast faster. But you can make 400 hp safely though.

Lots of guys have gone 10's in the 1/4 and cast pistons at about 130-135 mph. But slip in the tune and goodnight.
