ok i already have a procharger and other goodies (see sig) and im at 470rwhp well like ne normal man i want more so im thinking of going with a custom short block custom cams stroker kit (302) kmember and upper and lower control arms... now as u know thats quite a big chunk of change my question is do u think its worth the money and how much rwhp do u think i could get with it... also i want to keep it as a weekend driver (occasionally dailydriver) with all the mods will it shorten the life of my engine by alot.. please help i need insight before i spend the cash

 

is it worth the money? heck who knows
how much rwhp? 550 (est.)

but, if you've got thousands of $'s just laying
around and you can't think of anything else
to do with it, then let's build a monster

forged internals
15-17 psi (street use, pump gas)
drag radials

rock on

 

if you go ahead and do a forged stroker short block, u can up the psi on ur procharger to about a 20 psi pulley and put a wastegate on it set at 15 psi and have a huge power band... say a max of 550-600rwhp, with about 500 to the wheels from 3.5K up. yea it'll be a lot of money but you'll have yourself one sick street-car.

 

The stroker kit on a NA engine should add 40rwhp alone. With your FI and other goodies I'm knowe you'll see much much more. For your suspension check out the stuff from BMR fabrication. As far as the money aspect.....well, to each his own

 

such hard decisions

 

that would be one mean ride indeed!

one of the main reasons why I want to take classes at the local college for automotive technology..that way I can just use the 'class garage' and my own car for both learning and projects lol.

save the money and just install,build and tune my own car!
