i mean we need a few extra things not listed above such as trans/clutch upgrades, oil cooler, trans cooler, possible radiator upgrade ( thats $3500+ in parts off the top of my head right there. add labor for that install, and there's another $3k). plus if u have a 7AT, you gotta do major trans mods to handle that power too. you gotta think, the gtr gets the advantage of being built to handle 500hp worth of boost outta the box.

building an engine is a big undertaking. thats why there are so few "built" cars running around on the streets.

BUT, on a good tune, our engine can make 500-550whp on stock internals with just bolt on boost. the VQ37 is pretty stout for factory setup tbh. Hell, even 2jz's start having to worry about stock internals around that hp level
