Let me just say I have a ton of respect for those of you that have the big HP cars, especially the ones that are well sorted out. You all have a whole different level of commitment to what you want and what you are willing to do to get it.

Pat, I agree with all you have said here. If I had it to do over and all my money back I would be at about 550 to 625 max rwhp and that will blow the doors off 99.99% of ever car in any town around. Robert

You have big goals and that's good but 12k will be a down
payment you are going to spend some serious bucks to reach
that goal. Oh yea--stock tranys won't last long with your
power numbers. Good luck.

Not sure if you read the entire thread but right now with around 12k I am wanting to supercharge and keep stock block. I will also do a cam, full exhaust and meth probably. This will get me where I want to be for now. In a few years I am wanting to build my block or just buy a larger cube block and then start building the rest of the drive train to hold the power I will be making when I go bigger.

That's a long story and one of the troubling you will see on this board. Just make sure whatever shop ya go with you are completely confident in who you are dealing with and even then stuff can happen.

Glad to hear you are up and running. I think the shop I have picked out to do my work is a pretty safe bet. I know nothing is 100% safe.

Have you seen the used ttix for sale? Crazy low price. I paid full price and still worth it. TTiX has been good for me. 700rwhp on a bone stock LS6.

You wont have to mess with belts and pulleys. You don't need a cam or headers. Meth is good once you go over 600rwhp on pump gas.
