I'd be amazed, except that's almost jokingly easy, nowadays. My friend in Omaha had home-built twin-turbo Silverado that was pushing 1100 WHP/Torque (yeah, that much torque, too). Difference is, his power went to the ground and he was running 10.0x's with full 5000lb race weight lol. Sadly, he kept popping head gaskets until he found out there was a microfracture in the block causing the heads to lift eventually. He ended up fixing it and selling it to some dude in Mexico before it ran a 9 unfortunately. It had all the potential, too...

Not to mention the bazillion big-turbo 2JZ-GTW Supra's out there.

Oh I agree, it's just that this is the same guy with a "head dyno" who told Sophia she was pulling an extra 50+ whp so his numbers are highly suspect.

Ohhhh haha, I didnt even think of that until now. Touche! Maybe 1050 WHP is more like, 510.0? Switched those wacky numbers around...

Since the NISMO already has a decent exaust ill just put a HFC and intakes, thats a good start IMO. But like has been said before cheapest HP gain is
N2O.

Since you have the Nismo and its exhuast is already a little better than stock ones, I would go LTHs by FI. Matt has the Nismo and put on HFCs and it didnt change the sound much, so the LTHs will add power and make it sound a little louder without it sounding too loud. IMO.

Careful, not everyone can go without an emissions inspection :)

Not saying he cant, I'd assume NC is pretty lax...

You are going the correct route. Nitrous is a cheap thrill, but short and sweet. I personally would not add something to my car that substantially increases the power like Nitrous. Scares the hell out of me, my transmission, my connecting rods and just about any other moving part in my car's drivetrain. Flame suit ON. :icon17:
