Word on the Thick wallet....this is what your looking at...

headers ($1400)
ported and polishedheads ($1000-2000)
forged rods ($500-ish if your lucky)
dual hpop ($2500)
pistons ($1000)
dual are single turbo ($1500-$6000)
push rods ($400-ish)
530 injectors ($2500)
new intercooler ($1000)
valve springs ($700)
fire rings/gaskets ($500)
head studs ($1000)

Conservative Total: $14,000
Balls-To-The-Wall Total: $22,000

That's assuming you have EVERYTHING you need...which NEVER happens.
AND...you still need to do tranny and suspension upgrades.

Not trying to knock you...but it's going to be an expencive ride!

i second that motion... lemme know how all that goes and a video of it in action. ull prolly be lookin at about 600-700 hp and well over 1200 ft lbs of torque.

oh and at least 20-25 grand into a motor that im sorry to say will prolly not have a very long life if u drive it hard much. but it will haul some serious :censord:

and with all ur doin ur gonna have to bprolly buy a set of head studs definatly- 800, main studs with a girdle- 1200, and a fire ring kit- 1100. thats on top of basically a complete motor rebuild cuz since ur gonn abe right there at everything and with that kind of power might as well be sure its gonna be right.
