Why don't you just swap in an LS7, Coyote Hell Cat, etc ??????

Your engine doesn't have the material strength to hold together in one assembly something that turns 10-12k and makes hp that you are looking for-------

Further-----to have a vehicle that turns those rpm's at those power levels , the clutch/flywheel and other parts SFI ratings plus containment (Scattershields) would add so much weight and difficulty to work on the car--------

The lube system and valve train on it will be $$$$$$$$$$ of F1 levels

Sorry but time for my 2nd cup of coffee

Yes you are absolutely right if you get down to the actual cost to power ratio there are a hundred and one way better possibilites than getting that NA block to scream. The reason I am so intrigued is because it is not done very often so it would be a fun and mostly unique build to have a super quick NA platform for that particular car. I didn't think really 400 or so HP was more than what the internals could actually hold, I figure there are plenty of TT set ups where the clutch and flywheel hold 800-1k HP but does the fact that it is spinning at such wild RPMs change how the clutch and flywheel will engage and disengage as far as strength?
