Message	my goal is close to or up to 500 hp to the wheels. i was speaking to a local mechanic who is pretty knoweledgable today and i was mentioning some mods that i want and he got me thinking. what does it take to get to 500 hp. my performance mods are AshSPEC Dual Intake, Down pipes, Test pipes, LaBree Cat-back (no resonators), AshSPEC ECU...i already purchased JWT 400+ Cams and AshSpec Massive SMICs. i plan on getting GT28R turbos (i dont want a laggy turbo), Ash's 2.5" IC pipes, and 740cc injectors. will i get to my goals with these mods? i kno upgrades become a domino effect. you upgrade one thing you need another supporting mod...do you suggest i get weisco pistons, and if i do get pistons, do i have to get rods? oh man i tell ya, i swore i would stay at a stage 3...horsepower is too addicting
