Best bang for buck?

Well, you can get a badass Turbo setup to over 600HP, and ZZP has a Twin Turbo running a high 8second 1/4mile. There are Supercharged GTP's putting down over 400hp.

hahaha if only I was rich. aren't turbo's like 4grand?

**Edagimo** · 06-13-2010

and what is a good example of a baddass turbo?

**machinegunsquid** · 06-13-2010

Umm..if you're going to turbo the car, you'd basically need to rebuild the entire engine, from the block out to get the most power. Looking at around 5k+ depending on what all you do.

dude I had no idea you could do this kind of **** to a car!

**machinegunsquid** · 06-13-2010

yeah, just google some drag cars, there are some putting out over 2500HP, and nitromethane cars put out over 7000HP.

**Edagimo** · 06-13-2010

that's like... an entire valley of horses put into one car.

**machinegunsquid** · 06-13-2010

XD, yep, but those nitromethane cars are running down in the 4's

**Edagimo** · 06-13-2010

wait 4 second quarter miles? D:

**machinegunsquid** · 06-13-2010

yeah...at like 300mph +

**dbrincefield** · 06-13-2010

nitrometh = welcome to the big leagues!!!

**Edagimo** · 06-14-2010

Soooo all of this talk has made me wish I was rich and just had money to blow...

**matt5112** · 06-14-2010

Theres nothing to beef up in the bottom end really.

Sure stronger connecting rods and pistons. but the limit on those has never really been found. And the crank is OE only.

**machinegunsquid** · 06-14-2010

Im more so getting at cleaning everything up, with a worked crankshaft, new rods/pistons etc.

**Bio248** · 06-14-2010

this thread is stupid. my answer was the best, but children always like to dream.

**matt5112** · 06-14-2010

nothing really is the best bang for your buck?

**Bio248** · 06-14-2010

fullsize intercooler and a modular pulley system = low 13s for $1000.

**matt5112** · 06-14-2010

nah, gotta get the PRJ core... hahaha

**TorqueAutoMotiv** · 06-14-2010

sooo exactly how hard would it be to top swap if you had a mechanic friend who's been a mechanic for over 20 years? Like how long would it take to do?
