All the pieces are listed, and a handy person can get VERY good deals on it. We've spent very little since we mostly used stuff laying around the shop, lots of know-how and experience.

What I really meant by "budget" was, we didn't use:
- high dollar block
- premium crank
- ported heads
- custom cam
- aftermarket intake
- secret spec turbo
- exotic clutch

"Better" parts might make more efficient power, ie better curve or same numbers at lower boost; but we wanted to see if factory parts hold us back at 1000whp, and they didn't.

I was wondering why you took the passenger side fender off... then you went in for a close up

Nice to see those parts putting down that kind of power, what's the CR with those heads? Didn't see any mention of the head gaskets used.

Fender was off to clean-up the wiring.

CR is 8.6:1
ARP head and main studs
G8 OEM head gaskets.

Where does the crossover from the driver side connect/travel to meet over at the turbo?

Impressive numbers for stock heads/intake baby cam and good ol e85.

Boost is in the house!

This pic probably explains the best ... crossover goes behind the oil pan.

I thought a cheap 1000hp build could only be achieved on a Honda...
