I was thinking about getting the STS twin turbo set-up on my already head and cam car. I know i will have to replace my cam but my buddy is willing to sell me his for cheap and its for F/I. I was just seeing if anyone knows how much it costs to forge your engine. Im talking crank pistons rods etc. Im looking for 500-600 rwhp im at 424rwhp right now.

thats a lot for a 346, unless it was a complete motor. you can get into a 346 for under $3000. i paid $4600 for my 402.
