[QUOTE="Ryan2KRedL, post: 10408951, member: 346"] Honestly it's hard to put a figure on it. For example - 1. Do you plan to do it with a 4.6 or a 5.4? 2. Do you plan to run B heads, C heads, 04 cobra heads, or GT/GT500 heads? 3. Do you plan to keep a stock computer? 4. Do you want to drive it daily (or at least have the ability)? I had a 4.6 engine previously. It has ported PI heads (2 valve), twin 57mm turbos, and made 800rwhp on race gas. It made 740rwhp on 93 octane. Cost was around $16K total. I then decided to go for a true 1,000rwhp at the tires and changed to a 5.4 with GT heads (4 valve) and stock GT cams, twin 67mm turbos, and make 975rwhp on 93 octane. It can and has made 1,000rwhp on 93 octane at 20 pounds, but I don't like running it that high on pump gas. Cost was around $25K total. Keep in mind you will need to source your fuel system (pump, regulator, lines, rails, sumped tank, fittings, hose, etc) separately. You will also need to source your ignition system upgrades (coils, wires, boost a spark, etc) separately. Finally depending on your injectors used, you may have to run an external injector driver (this is what I did - Versafueler from Acceleronics) separately. I also added a Viper spec T56 trans, SPEC twin disc clutch, driveshaft, built rear (axles, carrier), front and rear brake upgrades, etc. This will start adding up quickly. So my suggestion is to realistically look at your budget and then build what fits for you. Ryan [/QUOTE]
