  1. Is your Supra a 6spd or an auto?
  2. Do you mean 800rwhp (=940hp) OR 800hp (=680rwhp)?
  3. What is your intended application for this vehicle? (eg. top speed, roadracing, drag racing, autocross, drifting, daily driver, etc.)
  4. How important is appearance and creature comforts such as stereo/custom dash/widebody/etc. ('bling' can suck up a significant portion of your budget)?
As I hope you would assume, I'm not asking these questions just to be nosy. To be budget-efficient, all modifications must be designed to compliment your Supra's intended usage. Also, please keep in mind if you answer "800rwhp, all of the above" to my questions, (unfortunately) your stated figure won't be nearly enough. Here's an example:

(don't look at the selling price; look at the stated investment - 2nd line in the title)
...and then please notice that this is 'only' a ~700rwhp vehicle. The reason it cost so much is because it was built for roadracing+dragracing+show, with an equally meticulous emphasis on all three.

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
