Absolutely. I also agree with these guys that finding out your CP ratio should be top of the list

English and punctuation has passed us by. It's like reading assbook.
He has a 98, does it has b heads, to super charge it he needs all the swap items. I’d go tvs with e-85 and upgrade fuel. I’m thinking 98 had a return fuel but might be restricted
Did I miss a comma or something?
I highly recommend picking up a copy of Sean Hyland's book. It gives a great breakdown of what to look for and how to make power with these engines.

That being said, look into Glenn's Performance or Lethal Performance for your fuel system needs, they have great complete kits. For that 800hp end game I'd highly recommend going the turbo route. Less belt slip, heat soak, inlet temp issues. A 76mm turbo with a .96 (maybe 1.10?) A/R will be tons of fun and still streetable. You sound like you've been around so you'll know to hold off on the gnarly launches until you build up that trans and rear end.

Thank u for all that info. I will check it out. I was going to stay away from turbos, just because ive never messed with them, but this is all out getting out of my comfort zone! Lol im pretty good and finding crazy deals, so ill give it a go if i come across one.
The rst of the drive train is no issue, pretty mucj the same as i remember.
That looks like maybe a -5 to -8cc dish piston.
If you are shooting for 800 to the wheels, you will need to upgrade your wrist pins unless they are already tool steel or better .200.

That is going to be a lower CR so lots of boost.

Still have a fuel system?
I made 753/667 on 17psi (16.8psi to be exact) with an F1A on 93 octane pump gas and have lots more in it. No doubt I would eclipse 800rwhp with a bit more rpm, but the car is a handful as it is and I don't see a reason to run it higher since it's a street car. I run a big fuel system, built motor and the F1A on an 8 rib setup. No meth, no race gas, etc.
Nice, curious to know where your car makes peak torque?
ID1300 are a waste a money at that power levels on E85. You can get great injectors for a 1/4 of the price.
Lots of reality checks here but all so true. If the original seller has photos he should have receipts, someone asked about the heads, if they are true 98 then they aren’t considered the best bet. I’ve got a built t56 on the shelf for 2200, good for 650 but it’s still not enough for your demands. I’d go 2.6 TVS on corn and enjoy.
