weve got between 7-9 grand in the car(including purchse price of car, 3300) we built and its around 340 give or take, weve got more room to go but we just got her all finished so were still tweaking some things, our set up is an LS/Vtec. Our set up consists of B16 head, Skunbk2 intake manifold, decked, dual valve springs on the intake side, SS valves, titanium retainers, JDM ITR cams, LS block, bored to 81.5, Wiseco 9.5:1 pistons, Eagle H beam rods, ARP rod bolts, New rings. Precision SC61 turbo, inlinepro manifold, 880cc injectors. Custom made by LHT performance 3 inch downpipe with an E-cut out leading to a 3 inch thermal research and dynamics exhaust all the way back. Tuned on Hondata s300. Its expensive to go fast!
Before our rebuild, it was a bone stock LS, only mods were Edelbrock Victor X intake manifold, and 550cc injectors, using a precision sc60 turbo, we put down 270 HP. We rode on that for about 6-7 months until we got chips in the ringlands and started blowing oil out of the exhaust
