power for 500 hp daily

[Torinalth]

hey guys... I've been lurking here for a good long time, posted on occasion.

i'm about to make my purchase for my power adder... i want a reliable daily driver that can make 500 HP... even if i have it set up so i can go lower power for daily and jack it up in power for the weekends via a double programed chip....

my main question is what should i go with for my power adder? i wanna spend as little as possible to get there... but am having issues... i can get a procharger P-1sc kit for around 3400 but that will net me around 350 to the floor. will need full exhaust system to get around 400 and still short by a bit too much... i dont have to hit 500, just close...

now i've been taking invintory and was looking to go with turbolocity to get a single T66 turbo kit... that runs around 5200 and would net me 450 HP and 500 Tq given a good tune, then a good X pipe and free flow exhaust and i should be there... so thats around 7k total after exhaust and tune....

think its cheaper to get some forged internals and up the boost on a blower? or keep the stock block and get the turbo? at SOME point i will get a shortblock that will allow me to get to 800 or so, but i have no need at the moment. nor do i have the cash to spend on a block for a good long time.

whats yer ideas? ----2002 GT by the way
