All the money in the world won't buy you common sense

and 9 times outta 10, people who say that quote don't.

BTW..its N20...not NOS

And take it easy? Like said beofre...if you ask what i take to make 900whp..then your not ready for 900whp...

Like others said..have you even driven a 400whp car?

Did you just watch the Fast and Furious Box set? Is that what got you all wound up????

I dont see the problem of getting some help from you guys??
Is it really that difficult to have 900whp?
I have a 457whp car (C6Z06),but the Camaro is my project car.
If you cant help me,dont give me your opinion

i can't imagine how much nitrous that would use up each time you sprayed. run a 150 shot, do some heads cam, and have fun. if thats not enough get a forged setup and get blown (even if you don't end up with a s/c or turbo you still can't go wrong) lmao.

No really. 900 rwhp is an achievable goal but it will take a truckload of money to do it. You wont do it with your current engine and if you do it will be once and once only.

the stock bottom end will hold 900 hp. there was a show on espn recently that took tuners and gave them some cash to buy a car and do stuff with it and one company took a bone *** stock like 01 camaro and got 900 to the wheels with nitrous and some bolt on all in the tuning and how slow u bring it in. its not going to last very long at all but they got at least 5 passes off it on the show

900hp stock bottom end on spray.

I'd like to see the vid of the dyno run of a stock bottom end and a 500 shot that would make this whole thread worth reading.

Edit: The scorpion sticker is worth at least 100HP. LMAO

LOL,Damn some of you guy's are ruthless.
Anyway,you can get 900whp from a 347. I have a friend who has 2 stages of spray on his FMS solid roller 347 and makes over a 1000whp! Yes it can be done,but your goals will be reached easier if you step up to a 4in. bore or larger motor.I would also suggest a 6 litre iron block also for the extra strenght.Hope this helps.

Besides the bigger cubes and going F/I dont forget all the other things you need to upgrade to hold that power,such as rear end,tranny, driveshaft,tourque arm, fuel components,just to name a few. I dont know if you put thought into this as well,but judging by your post it did not seem you did. I'm not trying to insult you,really I'm trying to help. alot of home work goes into putting car like that together that will hold for awhile

Very true statement! When you get into this much power,you need to have everything else to go along with it. it's easy to make the power,but relability is what you want also.

+1 ... start out smaller and build your car around your goal... for instance if you want to run your stock block for a while, do a H/C/I setup, some spray, and then start upgrading things (either as they break or as you go) like the tranny, rear end, suspension, tires, torque arm etc...

hell with a heads + cam + spray and a properly setup car you can run 10's , if its a street car, i would think thats plenty fast unless your already coming from a car thats been that power level / timeslip area and your bored and want the next step up.
