If you want a supercharger call EPP and get a D1 procharger and you'll have 500rwhp with some other add-ons.(moderate budget, more expensive than heads/cam but alot less then twin turbos)

Nitrous will need a pretty large shot unless you do a decent cam and small shot to get you 500rwhp.

The possibilities are endless and any sponser will help you get there. You need to do alot of research to find what you want and what your willing to live with...

hey man not to get off topic but do you have a link to vengeance's website?

what shifter would you use?

what lid would you use?

What 9 inch transmission would you use?

What gears? 3.73 or 4.10 would you use?

what suspension would you use would you use?

what electric fuel pump would you use?

I will use the best advice from these forums to upgrade my car and i will post the photo's of the before and after work.

Thanks guys
Alright, lets pretend youre serious and are really just a newb. Start off with heads and cam and then see if you really wanna tt it after that.

Pro 5.0 shifter
Lid doesnt matter, especially if you plan to TT because the lid will go away
Strange 9"
3.73s
Suspension depends on plans for the car, street vs track
walbro 255
42# fuel injectors
408 iron block
Headers, dual exhaust
underdrive pulley
tsp 233/239 cam
afr 225 heads
90/90
new rod bolts
timing chain
oil pump
hardened pushrods

there ya go

1) what shifter would you use?

2) what lid would you use?

3) What 9 inch transmission would you use?

4) What gears? 3.73 or 4.10 would you use?

5)what suspension would you use would you use?

6)what electric fuel pump would you use?
1) Shifter: I'd go with the Pro 5.0 "Power Tower" and Lou's Short Stick package. I'm sure a sponsor has it.
2) Lid: If you're going to be running a TT system, most likely you won't need a lid. However, pretty much all the aftermarket lids flow the same. You can pick up an SLP lid for around $85
3) 9 inch: I assume you mean 9" Rear, not transmission, that being said, if you're looking for pre-built, probably Moser or Strange are the way to go. You can also piece one together after buying a housing with all the mounts for an f-body on it already (again, Moser or Strange)
4) Gears: Really depends on what you want to do with the car. 4.11's are a pretty good all around gear, 3.73 will get you better gas mileage, and you can go 4.30's and up for a strip-only car, depending on tire size and what rpm and gear you want to cross the stripes in, as well as whether it will be an 1/8th mile car or a 1/4 mile car.
5) Suspension: Again, depends on what you want to do, and, more importantly what you want to spend. For a stree/strip car I would definately at least go with KYB Adjustable shocks. Ideally, a full adjustable setup like the QA1 deal would be the best way to go.
6) Fuel Pump: Walbro seems to get the job done. But don't think your stock injectors will handle 500+hp or twin turbos. You'll need some serious squirters to hold up with two turbos under a decent amount of boost.

Basically, there are a lot of options, and you really need to address each point specifically. A lot of manufacturers will be more than willing to help if you give them a call and tell them what you need and are planning to do.

First, if you want to keep from getting your threads locked you need to slow down and think before you post. You need to read sticky's, you need to search, then you need to post. Get an informed view of what you are talking about or asking about before you ask. This way you don't look like a 16 yr. old retard. Also know that you are in NO position to TRY and make fun of other people. Good luck on trying to reach your goal which is much more difficult to do than your uniformed posts propose.

To a computer guy, I would say you sound like this:

I want a 2.8GB processor with 455 megahertz of hard drive space. I want a pcp 22" screen that is no thicker than .25" I want the fastest stuff possible and spend $45 on it.

If you went to a computer place and said that they would direct you to the front door in which you came through, laughing the whole way.

Why are you guys being so mean to this guy?? He came here for help and you all bash him for that? Thats not right and just shows how immature some of you are.

He did post in the Nebwbie section so if you dont expect newb questions dont come in this section.

I do however agree that the thread started should have read the stickies and read up a little before he posted.
