Like others have said, I’m pretty much maxed out power wise unless I decide to dump 10-20k on essentially a full rebuild (fueling, engine, trans, power adder)

Just a heads up, these 700+ whp bolt ons you have to be careful with what people are claiming. Most people are just slapping on a bored supercharger and small upper pulley. What they don't tell you is that they're heat soaked and losing hp after one pull. My biggest effort has been into cooling my IATs after getting reliable power. Also, you will start needing low pressure fuel pump and injectors around 750ish whp.
