Just put in forged pistons and stroke the motor out with a 5.1 stroker kit, higher compression rebuild the bottom end forge the motor, do 03 cobra heads or fr500 / ported heads, do new cams, full bolt ons and u can make like 400-500hp n/a !!:rockon:
For that kind of money the guy could buy a used LS1 with an entire F-body around it though. :banana:
......and have a Cobra as well! :beer:
