UUUUuuummmmmmm.

I have $13k into my truck and I could be well over 500hp if I had ordered my injectors with larger nozzles but I didn't because I wanted to be able to tow. As it is I made 488hp last Saturday and ran a 13.63 in the 1/4 with a long bed crew cab on 35's. Add another $5K to build the block with billet rods and a girdle. and I could be well into the 600hp range. So for $20K, I have no doubt you can get into the 600+ range on fuel only and maybe 750hp+ da' juice. However twin turbos run around $5K along. If you want the elusive 1000hp, you better get some more money.
