blow off Donating Members 199 Member For: 16y 5m 20d Gender: Male Location: Airlie Beach - FNQ Posted 30/12/10 06:55 PM Share Posted 30/12/10 06:55 PM Good luck with your goal. Have you every owned or driven a 1000hp street car.... I think the biggest item is knowing what you want then working out how to get there. Do it once only and do it right. I have been through half a dozen gear boxes, please don't get me started. Do Not Forget when these types of rigs are customized to handle really big power they loose the factory feel in regards to drivability. Did 400kms in mine the other day in 1 hit, got out of the thing knacked. As others have stated the buget will need to be heaps, trust me mate lets just say mine build is over 100k with another 15k on a fuel system to achive what your after. 6BOOST, you got the job of my next build mate, especially for 50k for 1000hp. Then even with the hole Ute being built you want to have coin left over for breakages as qik1 saidYou will find heaps of great forum members that will be very willing to assist serious contenders.

bcl Toughest BA Turbo Lifetime Members 3,408 Member For: 22y 1m Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 31/12/10 01:40 AM Share Posted 31/12/10 01:40 AM What about the 6 to 8k for brakes and suspension?Then very sticky and wider wheels & tyres.These projects can take a lot of time, and you will most likely exceed your budget.If you want the job done properly, start with a $60k budget, not $25k, then another $20-30+ for extra parts & breakages & retunes along the way.If you don't take notice of us that have been through this then you are having yourself on.I suggest you buy another car for run around purposes, as the car will spent its share of time off the road.The only real place for this power is the drag strip, and doing 135+ passes is a lot of fun.450rwkw is more than plenty for the street, and a very quick car. Above that the price per extra kilowatt increases exponentially.Good luck with the project.Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
