That would effectively turn the VQ into a drag car...
Then again, I think the OP just wants to drag race. There's no practical use for having 600+whp except for drag racing.

Still a drag car. I doubt you'd be tracking it. 600hp is Carrera GT territory.

I fear the RB/2J engines would ruin the car's already messed up balance lol That iron block weighs like a tonne..
Dmac, here's a breakdown of what you should do
1) Figure out how much you're willing to spend
2) Figure out what on earth you want out of your car and purpose
3) Use the search button, there are thread about stage 1, stage 2 and 1000whp project turbo kits in addition to Supercharger reviews and installation

If you want a faster car, buy a faster car.
None of the headaches.

So, you have a car that stickers at 40k, and are planning on spending 20k on mods, but you can't buy a 60k car?

You can buy a used 996T for 60k in GREAT condition.
Or better yet, why not that G35 in the FS section thats already built?
