Howell Automotive 420A Engine Kit

I think that at one point in time I read that the kit at: http://www.howellautomotive.com/How...ct_info.php?cPath=142_38_174&products_id=1439 will give you 200HP, does that have any bit of truth?

I highly doubt that kit alone will give you 200hp. It will help a bit tho, but without some sorta forced induction or nitrous, I will have to say no.

Yeah, it would be nice...that is for sure. I was just curious, I am planning on going turbo anyways so it isn't a big deal. I have $6000 or so to do it and have read many different things, that should be plenty, right?

it really depends on ur goals and how much u want to boost. a kit and u can run like 7 psi putting u near 200 hp will be like $3000. but for more boost like 16-18 u will need stronger internals, bigger exaust, fuel injectors. It adds up but i think u could do it with 6k. good luck!

turbo kit, $3000
rebuilt bottom end, $1000 (pistons/rods/)
injectors $300
full exauhst $700

doesnt include labor, which i might add, is going to own me b/c i never had an oppurtunity to learn about cars.....stupid dad
i might be forgetting some small stuff and if i am someone plz jump in and add ur thoughts. But hey, i wish i had $6k to start doing what i want to my car.
