Re: More Horsepower
Are you looking for 400-450HP at the flywheel or at the rear wheels?
What is your budget?
Does your car have a manual or automatic transmission? If automatic, do you have 2.73 or 3.23 rear gears?

Re: More Horsepower
Rear Wheels. I Don't have Budget yet. i'm trying to raise the funds that i need to accomplish this.
the car is Auto for now. its not 2.73 for sure is 3.??
Depending on Labor cost i would want a T56.

Re: More Horsepower
The estimate of $5000 mentioned is pretty accurate.
EDIT: If you're doing a T56 swap in addition to that 400HP that's going to raise your budget closer to $6000.

Re: More Horsepower
It's accurate if he is keeping it as a stock shortblock and doing a heads/cam. If his stock shortblock needs a rebuild, even going to a 355 will add an easy $2000 right there for machining, pistons/rings, bearings, gaskets, etc.
OP-does your car have any mods done to it right now? You will need headers, a cat-back, a decent CAI, a tune, etc.

Re: More Horsepower
If u go the heads and cam route id go with AI "advanced induction" there proven. like stated prob cost 2000 more if u rebuild. If u go 355 u need to buy good pistons machine shop can take care of everything from there. 383 u have to get stroker kit and machine can take over from there.
