Don't want anything to outrageous!
Mines would be as followes:
Aluminum 5.4 liter block punched out to 6.0 liters.
Billet Crank
Billet Rods
Billet Pistons
Ford GT Heads with port and polish
Titanium Valve springs, stainless steel valves
Aftermarket followers
Crane cams
sullivan intake
Procharger supercharger system.
Some where north of 800 HP
If i win the lottery, that's what is going in mine. What about yours?

I would be happy with many different cars.
I guess mine would be a 03 or 04 Cobra with a Kenne Bell.. pretty easy to please here. Nothing to outragous but something that will knock you back

I want a v-tec..........
hahahaha, wow, I seriously said that.. shoot me
I'm totally not serious, I would love to personally destroy every Honda around
In all seriousness, I'd love to pimp out my dad's 7.5 liter (460 CI) F-350 motor... I figure it peeled all 4 tires (dual rears) with a stock motor... if I pimped it out, I could pop wheelies pretty easy.

there comes a point when to much hp/tq is to much hp/tq for the street and it becomes very hard to drive or annoying/breaks stuff. I am pretty happy as I am, sure a bit more would be nice but you dont want to go TO far for the street... whats 1000 hp worth if you cant hook it up till mid 6th gear.

I can attest to the validity of this statement. Although I am no where near 1000rwhp, even the level my car is currently; it is a constant battle between tread life and traction. Driving the car as a daily driver, you have to decide what is your intentions with the car. How much money is in the account to fix: rear-end, trans, imputs, axles etc....they WILL BREAK when you get 500+ hp in the 03/04 Cobras; its only a matter of when.
I know a guy that tweaked his 03 to about 550rwhp. On first trip to track-the first pass-he busted the imput shaft on launch. Off to the trailer.
But back to thread question: I'll take a 69 Mach with a 427 SOHC and maybe a built 5spd with N case 9" rear with maybe 4:10s...???

I think my 04 with a 5.0 Cammer would be cool. Something you beat the hell out of and still have it reliable/strong.

351 Windsor... stroked out to a 408 with a bullet proof bottom end (Dart aluminum block, forged everything) and a low compression ratio (8:1 or so).
Then, a fairly mild H/C/I combo (maybe some AFR 225's, a TFS R intake and a custom cam) that would make decent low-end torque, but still flow well on the upper end too.
Finally, a NOVI 2000 pushing about 20 psi.
Of course, I say all this... but in reality I'd probably just do a nice, streetable 408 with out the blower and a higher C/R. Something that would make around 475 hp and 500+ lb/ft, but still have good steet manners and would be driveable every day.
