Forged rods and pistons (8.5:1)
Something to reinforce the cylinders
Higher capacity oil pan
Lightly ported heads
Tomei 268 cams w/Ti retainers, stronger springs, heavy duty lifters
Some sort of plenum (LSDUnique or Crawford)
ATI Procharger with smaller pulley
TS ECU Flash w/(probably)XEDE Programmer (to monitor/fine tune)
XERD Headers
Already have the exhaust, clutch, flywheel, etc.
THE END.
Sidenote: I may sub the ATI and plenum for the Stillen. Depends on HP/dollar.

Less than 10K. Can you say, "Bonus!" Yay end of year. Too bad our year ends in July.

Can do the heads ourself. Will probably wind up putting the thing together ourselves. I'll let you know how much it is. Less than what you think. Probably more than I think too. Lets take an avg.

ZSPEED83, the ATI is uses a compressor that is rated to around 700 RWHP. If the motor can take it, the ATI will put it out. Is that funny or did you have no idea?
