i''m in a bit of a tussle in another forum, their saying, "Sorry boys, there is NO car out there, making ~1000 HP, that can be considered even close to being "affordable" or "easy to achieve". Ok, is ~1000 HP "easy" to get? Perhaps, but if you want A) the motor, and B) the CAR to last, it's not as simple as give it BIG BOOST and you're off to the races ."
can some of you people with 1000+ crank hp cars, let me know how many miles you have put on your car since, and what problems, if any you have had with driveability theyve been putting up that kind of power?
I have 17,000 miles 900 rwhp and run 15 lbs of boost using a Paxton. So far I have had no problems. Many tuners are acheiving this and not only on Vipers. There are several TT Ford GT's running around. Jerrys car has over 800 rwhp so it easy if you have some spare change to spend
Heffner builds Twin turbos putting out more power then I have with zero problems.
thats what i figured, i did a search and finding you can do a supercharger for around 10k putting you around 1000bhp...after reading that i want a viper even more

TT Vipers run at over 1000 hp all day and night on pump gas. That's the easy part.
No getting them to agree it's affordable is up to you!
this is a camaro forum so getting these red knecks to say anything is affordable is damn hard

WRONG- The base Paxton is going to set you back $10k with installation and tuning. That much horsepower you need to go forged.
well this guy is the one who threw up affordable, how much is a tt setup putting down 1000 or so bhp on a gen 2?
I cannot vouch for the other tuners, but CPE would do a system for about 25k (I believe) that would lay down 1000 HP easily. That would be turbos, intercooler,piping, AEM, and fuel system. A stock motor would probably hold that, but I would personally want a light buildup for that. So, I would figure about 35k by the time it was all said and done for a super reliable 1000HP. Unfortunately, this is the same system that makes WAY more than that as well. 1000 HP is just out of range on the stock basic system which is quite a bit cheaper. But still, if you pick up a GTS for 45k, you could have a reliable daily driveable car with a built motor for 80k that could lay down 1000-1400 crank all day-- more on race weekends. I am sure other tuners have similar packages and my pricing isn't exact (so don't hold me to it), but CPE is what I know. I CAN tell you that a stock engine with a boostapump can lay down mid 900s crank--- so that is getting aweful close.
i was talking on that board about gen 2's, so its forged...remember it has to cost less than their trailor's or its no longer "affordable"
but i do understand what your saying, so is it reasonable to say if i own a forged gen 2, i could get 1000bhp for 15k?
Assuming you want to stay with a stock engine and don't mind running a VEC II, you could probably do a Pro turbo system and hit your goal, but I wouldn't exactly call that a seamless stock reliability package.
There are plenty of 1000 HP streetable, affordable cars. Heck if you start with a ~$25K Supra you can get to that level for $40K ($15K in parts + the car) and the car will be reliable. It will of course require race gas, with pump gas you are limited to about 650 RWHP to be 100% safe (roughly 780 crank HP).
With a Viper it can probably be done for about $55K on pump gas if you start with a ~$30K RT-10
