The Tubi will get you some ponies.

But to get 650ish hp, you definitely need some NOS and tuning from Eloy at RPI. Or a similar setup from the guys at ASR.

Stroker engine will get you near 650 hp. I believe there are stroker engines available from Dinan and RDSport.

you could start with ECU, full catback exhausts, scoops.



never heard of anyone getting bored with a 500+hp car before - I can't wait to get up every morning to go for a drive in mine.
