[QUOTE="Nightmare302, post: 15421774, member: 14127"] You can build "budget" 1000rwhp builds but they typically fail. You don't need and should not sleeve a teksid/new WAP for that power level. You do not need GT heads and going to GT heads requires different intake and the 4.0 will not fit. If you go 4.0 you need to address the crank snout and the pressure the big blower puts on it when spun hard. A 3.4 would make 1000rwhp and would be a better blower. You sound caught up in HP. Find out what you really want out of the car and then build accordingly otherwise you will end up very unhappy and will probably end up parting the car out like 99 percent of big hp builds do. Do you want a cruiser? No need for 4.0 or 1krwhp. Do you want a drag car? Suspension/transmission become incredibly important and can cost more than your engine build. A lot of people think making 1krwhp makes your penis size grow but in reality you've got a dyno queen that would lose to most 700rwhp cars. "affordable" 1krwhp recipe. E85 fuel or Race gas Teksid/05+ WAP block Molnar Billet Rods Custom Pistons (10:1 compression or higher) Tool steel wrist pins (I like .180 wall some say it's overkill) Total seal steel rings with napier cut second ring ARP heads studs ARP main studs Factory crank I like king bearings New GT500 oil pump with boundary billet gears factory heads with valve job and seats replaced BTR springs factory retainers 01 Cobra intake or mach (this also requires new timing cover, alt, throttle cable/bracket so on) On3 turbo kit but replace all v-bands and check for leaks Use your favorite brand of turbo typically around a 76mm (lots of cobra guys are super hard for precision I like borg ) Bosch 105's Fore twin 465 fuel system (this includes line, filter, reg, rails) 26 spline input shaft RXT clutch full tilt boogie racing IRS bushing or SRA swap with at least 31 spline you'll need tubular suspension (I like team z) Your choice of tuning options (ngauge,SCT whatever) SCT BA5000 MAF Random gaskets (timing cover, valve covers, headgaskets so on) Wideband Boost controller (boost leash is awesome) New timing chains Replace plastic tensioners with metal and shave notches add spacers If you want to add cams: Cloyes adjustable gear kit if you want to use the Z chains Custom grind cams If you want add protection Shelby Mike billet arms Accufab secondary chains You are still over 10k to do it. To do it "right" would put you near 20k. If you want a shop to build the motor add 2k to it. If you want someone to build the whole thing had another 2-3k. Don't forget you'll need to pay a tuner as well. Looking for used deals would help. That should get you going. It will still lose to auto cobras making 200-300 less but you'll have your number with a large amount of boost. People do not understand how much it costs to build a car right. [/QUOTE]
