To make your motor put out 450-500hp, your gonna need a good combo of aftermarket heads/cam/intake as well as a blower at around 8-9psi or about a 90hp nitrous shot.

This can take you easily into the $5k to $6k range. So its not gonna be cheap.

If you are pushing that much power, you will need many other things to haness it. Your stock T-5 will not hold up for very long, theres $1400 for a tremec. Your torque boxes will need reinforcement. You'll need control arms, subframes, drag shocks and struts (if you want to hook up)... the list goes on.

This is not a cheap hobby and you can't just pour all that cash into the motor and expect everything else to be sufficient. oh yah, i didnt even get started on the fuel system needs for that much power.

slicks will be between 150-200 each and you could probably find some cheap wheels for $50

good luck
