Forged is right in ATL, and they can get you a built motor to handle 600-650whp, for $3,485, and they'll pay for your car's transportation and a flight for you to go out there. Read up on Forged man, nothing but good things said about them and the tuning they do.

built motors should handle whatever you throw at them. Obviously the more you spend the more it will handle due to material differences and such.

There has only been one member to my knowledge that has achieved more than 300 whp on a built motor itself on a dynojet, and trust me, the bill is something you do not want to know about.
