Most people you talk to don't even know what A real 1000 Hp is. It's easy to say you want A 1000 Hp but getting it not so easy. So you need to decide what really want to do with the Car. You say Street Car but you can't use 1000 Hp on the street. I have Customer come to the shop all the time wanting 1000Hp street Cars then I say ok let me take you down the road in my Car then there like holy $hit thats what I want right there Then I tell them well that's around 650Hp. see my point. Most guys don't know what 500 is much less 1000. So find some body thats got A fast Buick and go for A ride and then make you mind up so you not building A 1000Hp Car and really wanting A 500Hp Car.
What he said. Most MEN scream like a school girl who just saw a spider the first time they get a ride in a 700+HP street car that works as designed. Better than a good chiropratic adjustment.
Building a true 1000 hp car needs SO much more than just power. I'd hate to read about how someone dropped a 1000 HP engine in their street car and was found wrapped around a tree somewhere.:frown: I'm not saying you don;t know how to drive, but the car shuould have a 25.5 chassis certification to be safe. Read this:
NHRA Rules, Condensed Teh engine alone will cost in excess of $18,000 plus electronics, then chassis, then brakes, then trans, then parachute, fire suit, then medical cert., gloves, shoes, neck brace, wheels/tires, complete rear-end, (and Depends* for when you shat yourself.
) There is So much to consider when building BIG power. IF you are on a budget, then consider a Chevy LS platform to start with. It is ALOT easier to build 1000+hp with more cubes. In my opinion, a 1000 HP buick will not be fun to drive on the street, either. A 650 HP V6 will knock the socks off all but the few crazies out there. If you're shooting for the top, bring a HUGE bank account. Start with a budget of $75,000 and then buy a chassis. Look here:
