hi dsmtuners! Care to help me?

It's not this hard to understand.

Start with a well built short block assembly. Roughly anybody's stage 2 or stage 3 shortblock will do. Burschur has some good pricing on theirs. If you want to build your own just follow their recipe. I'm partial to the 2.4L for a DD or street car, but that's just me.

Add a well built and ported 1g cylinder head. Add a good set of higher level cams (HKS 272/272 or 280/280, FP2's or FP3's).

Bolt on a good intake & exhaust manifold.

Build a fuel system that will flow what a pair of Walbro 255hp's will do or better. 1000cc injectors.

3 to 4 inch exhaust all the way out.

Biggest and best intercooler and pipes you can fit in there (air-to-air or water-to-air) or run methanol injection.

A turbo that will flow 75 lb/min of air flow (FP3575, T67, etc.) with a good exhaust side and be prepared to go over 30spi. You could go smaller on the turbo, but you have to supplement it with nitrous to make up the power difference. 600whp will require 700+ at the crank.

AEM EMS or DSMLink in the hands of somebody who knows how to tune (if that's you, more power to ya).

First you should get rides in cars that are 300, 400, 500, and 600 Dyno proven AWHP respectively.

Make your choice, photocopy what they did.

Make sure you want what you ask for, because a 300awhp dsm is more fun then 99.5% of america will ever experience, and honestly is "good enough".

It is unfair of you to ask such an open-ended question, this is why you are getting such "interesting" replys. Tell us what you think, tell us what you want to buy, we would love to help, we want to help, but its hard to do when the thread is full of open-ended questions and flames.

Get DSMlink, build the engine, get the FMIC, exhaust, etc. Last thing you should get is the turbo and injectors. Then wait for your clutch to fry and get a bigger one if it hasn't already at that point.

Then if you make some decent power/torque then 4th gear breaks over and over again.
