I didn't see that your friend wants to build a street car versus a dedicated race car. I agree that it's possible to drive such a car to Burger King, but it would be horrible "street car" otherwise. I also agree that it's almost impossible to hook street tires to the road when you get above 500 rwhp.

He is going to custom fab up the turbo setup, but he and I are interested in the supporting parts. I've told him that this goal is pretty unrealistic without a lot of money, but he seems pretty determined to do it.
Basic outline.
Iron block (what crank, pistons, rods?)
Heads (What would a good set of heads to support that much HP?)
ECM (Which standalone is best?)
T56 (I hear G-Force is good?)
Rear (Definately a 9inch)
These are just the basics, but any tips/suggestions would be great.

I disagree with the "can't do it's".
I think the only way it can be done is on a turbo setup where you have control over what power is being made at all times, ie-boost controller.
Neunfeldt(Parish) is proving that right now, along with fully functional towing .
I just stand by the fact that it will still be quite a bit more than what he would expect to budget, not to mention it always seems more expensive to make a dual purpose vehicle, (street/strip), versus race only.

"I think the only way it can be done is on a turbo setup where you have control over what power is being made at all times, ie-boost controller." Exactly my point. I won't be running 1000 at all times. I'll have a low boost setting which will be in the 800s 90% of the time. Then a med and a high boost setting for highway runs. I've got some sticky 335s out back that help out more than you would think on hooking up... To each his own IMO

I admit it's a WAG, and that the final price will always be higher than the quote or estimate, and that the expenditures never stop.

A T56 will hold all of the power and should not cost more than the stock tranny and $500 in parts if you can get them at the right places.
Just build a 408 iron block and dont skimp on the parts. It will hold just look at Parish8 he is makeing 1000+rwhp in a truck.

There's alot of ways to approach this..
With a race car there is alot more room to move on what and where everything goes, not to mention the amount of deletes.
On the street car, 1000 rwhp with fully functional accessories and driveability, much more time involved.
The time is the most valuable and that's where I think the difference is.
My race car is just about done and I'm at probably 50K without incl. the original car price nor any of my previous versions.
But I also built it as a class car and could've easily achieved the power it's going to make for less money with a P/A.
Either way, it will be cash unfriendly.
