lgithweight wheels and good tires is another 2 grand.
$2000 for nice wheels/tires would be pretty cheap, I'd say you'd be looking closer to $3500.

And expect to replace the tires often.

sorry guys but doing the step by step thing like I mentioned before is a real waste of my money and I rather get direct advice from you guys that been throught it many times before. I don't know about you guys but when it comes to things I know and someone asks me what should I do I normally help and guide and inform them what to do and buy. I don't do the shaddy "I don't what people to catch up or be at my level" unlike other people.

I think it's been mentioned here before by someone that some guys don't want other people to catch up or outstage them and so they won't help noobs or give them solid advice.


Apparently you missed my point. It's not about wasting money. Sure, you'd save a small amount (in relative terms) by going all at once, but it's not worth it. If you don't learn by doing and just try to go on advice and put together a monster you will end up failing or killing your car and possibly yourself in the process. It doesn't take much money to build a 300-350hp car and much of the stuff can be kept or resold when you decide to upgrade. Then when you spend your fortune on building a 600hp monster you'll know what you're doing, how to handle it and most importantly not blow it up and lose all your money and hard work.

So, seriously, what's $500 lost/used to learn to do things properly when you're going to spend many thousands in the long run.

What bolt-ons do you have.

If you plan to have anything near that goal, start with some basic mods. Get DSMlink or AEM stand alone. Get a High Pressure (HP) Manual boost controller. Get walboro 255 fuel pump, big injecters, fuel rail, new fuel line, Fuel regulator, FMIC.

3' exhaust, intake I will assume you already have

there is so many options you need to narrow it down for us.

I just keep the boost down and run 110octane when I want to push 600whp but for DD I'll just keep the boost low so that's the plan in the future.

Any more input from you guys?

I'm still waiting for one of those streetelite stickers

Do you want 600awhp on a Dynojet AWD or Dyno Dynamics AWD? There is about a 100HP difference in power there.

Do you want to be a dyno queen or actually go fast?

Here was my recipe:
Stock bore 7-bolt
Block cleaned/honed/decked
Eagles/Wisecos
1G Head
HKS 272s
Crower Springs/Retainers
Big intercooler
Piece of shit intake manifold held together with silicone couplers
Walbro 255 intank + Walbro 255 inline
950cc fuel injectors
Good clutch
AEM EMS
3.5" Exhaust
67mm P-trim turbo
Tial 38mm Wastegate
Terrible 17" hockey puck tires
Power leather interior/carpet/all interior panels/sunroof
Fat guy who can't drive
31psi of boost on VP C16 race gas
10.4 in the 1/4 mile

Honestly I think there are only 2 DSM's on here that have made 600 whp. You really have no idea what you are getting into. I'll take you for a ride in a 460 whp car and I think you will get a different perspective. I can light up all 4 tires in 2nd gear just stepping on the gas.

You can get close to 600 whp if you take my setup, put on a T67 and upgrade the fuel lines and pump. I haven't added it up, but I probably have $12k - $14k in upgrades into my car.
