Default How to go about building engine n boosting

I want to boost my Z and get the engine built to handle high hp and need radiator hoses and need to know other parts to keep car cool and reliable for daily driving but it also be a good weekend drag racer what suspension/coilover spring set up for drag racing? Is there a good short block engine build out there that I can get put on in a good shop and then get the best twin turbo setup out there and it be rdy 2 kill qaurter miles? Or a better alternative built engine n good supercharger? Maye a engine swap? Need to know the best route and a detailed description of how to go about it answering all questions in this thread itd be really appreciated.

$25,000 minimum. Import Parts Pro or Z1 motorsports fully built long block and might as well do all the accessories while your building the motor. Basically any top brand single or twin turbo kit...do some research. Then start looking into differentials, wheels, tires, brakes ect. I wouldn't even start doing anything until you have all the spare cash saved up otherwise it's a lost cause.

everything above ... No one has the time to walk you through everything you'll need...but many many many people have successfully done what you want to do...read what they did and create a plan.

as far as money goes:

350whp = $7k-$10k
350whp - 450whp = $10k - $15k
450whp - 600whp = $15k - $25k
600whp - 800whp = $25k - $50k
800whp+ = $50k+

for suspension you what it soft for drag racing.

I drag my car, and I use Tein Comfort Sport, works great and also handles very well for the street. much better than stock. They are adjustable rebound and compression, so you can soften it up for the drags with just the turn of a *** and then make it stiffer for the street. Very comfortable ride.

I understand its not cheap as my plan was to save up to 25k for it. And while saving do smaller things such as suspension, already have quite a few bolt ons but am looking into more to add while saving for FI not something I plan on doing immediately just need info for what I should get while saving up I'm probably going to wrap it and get some coil overs better brakes a 2nd set of wheels because the current ones I have are great but I'll need backups I want the car to look good maybe be slightly lower but not too low and be nice looking, not something intend on cheaping out on. Something I know will take a bunch of time effort and money. No need for your video have seen it on previous threads before I made this post. Stop implying and being a ***** .

I know you drage race I've read your threads thank you for your time in replying and your build is amazing especially since ur engine is still running on that much hp and ur quarter mile time I want my Z to be as fast as yours what supercharger are you using? Also with the coil overs you have can you lower your car below stock height for good looks on the street? Thanks for replying!

Thank You.....

Vortech V2 SC-Trim Rated @ 1000cfm

Yes, you can adjust the hight of the car. My car is about 1-1/4" lower than stock.
