Default 1000 hp

I have read many of the replies to this question. Let me say that I have 2 supras one of which is 700rwh and the other is being built by a race car team in FLa which will break the 1000hp mark. The race teams are running between 1200 and 1300 rwhp. The cars take daily maintenance and much replacement of worn parts. You don't just say you want 1000 rwhp lightly. It takes a COMPLETE reworking of the entire engine. from the long block to the spark plug cover. I will tell you you better have 80K plus to put into the engine as well. Just replacing the short block the injectors and exhaust won't cut it. In my 700whp car i was supprised at how much it took to get a few extra horses once you passed the 500 hp mark. You need a complete package including the injectors all of these items work together to get the max performance. Good luck with your goals even if you don't make it it will be fun trying.
