I have a 1997 Z28 6 speed and I want to run 500 hp at the rear. Wondering if anyone out there had some suggests I could do. Currently its all stock

 

wow...ummm...you got some work to do. if it were me, i'd start by building a forged 383. then i'd buy some trickflow heads and have them ported by someone of your choice, throw in a decent sized cam. that will probably put you to around 400-450 at the wheels. then you're going to have to either go supercharger, turbocharger, or spray and pray. and thats assuming you have all the bolt ons before that. ps...with that much power, good luck launching on your 10 bolt rear end. in which case you're going to want a 9" or 12 bolt rear end. lets just say you'll be spending more than you paid for the car

 

seriously, the 97 z28 is 285 hp. thats doubled then stock.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$4 is you friend

 

Yeah your going to be broke for awhile and if your not careful so will your car... get all the supporting mods first imho. Like Whammer said, forged 383 and then buy reinforced everything bumper to bumper.. especially the rear end. 500hp is alot of strain on a car thats almost 12 years old.

 

ive dropped about 8k in my car since i got it making sure all my mods are properly supported and i think im barely going to break 500rwhp on spray. and im ls1...... what is ur budget?

 

oh yeah, you're going to want a clutch kit to go with that, if not a rebuilt tranny. i mean its possible, but you better have some deep pockets

 

Like the others have said, what are you looking to spend?

Fast
Cheap
Reliable

You get to pick two...

 

whos sig is that from?

 

...erm, it's a pretty common saying. In the world of Engineering we go with "good, fast, cheap" as in quality, time it takes to build and...well, cost.
