Also I'd probably get a new clutch, I don't think the stock ones rated for that, haha.. I'm changing mine once I reach 600whp. And unless your planning on putting a stroker kit in it and spending 11000 your fine for dolla.

Actually you can get a relatively large single setup for more like $4,500 (not $6K). "The rest" of it is actually not cheap at all - for example an aftermarket ecu setup will cost about $2500. You'll need wider-than-oem rear rims to handle a single turbo, which is another $3K-$6K. The list goes on and on.

Your stock clutch won't handle anywhere near 600whp. Plan on replacing it at the 400whp level. Above 600whp or so you'll need a dual-plate clutch. Above approximately 800whp you'll probably need a triple-plate clutch.
