What Motor? 20,25,26? Do you have a EMS yet? Microtech is a good one to go with LT12S. Injectors? 800cc should do the trick, Cams 260 could get it done but 270's would be better, valve springs, Intake manifold, Nice turbo manifold, Nicer turbo. Forged Rods, Pistons, A nice oil pump, Bigger radiator, Oil cooler would be nice too. Ohh and lets not forget a money tree.

Nah...just sprinkle some of that majic fairy dust I have been hearing about. That should do the trick.

Actually man, 650 from an RB might take quite a bit of cash, and I think the dude above me gave you an excellent plan to start with. Most likely will need some new internals too. I guess it depends on what motor you have too. 20 or 25. Good luck though and don't rush it. Take your time collecting the parts, then put it all together once you have them all, then BOOST AWAY!

do you realize how much power that is in an s chassis?

and your talking full build. expect 10-15,000$ because unforutionatley 650whp is going to require WAY more than just engine parts.

and at 17 years old, you arent serious about this.

Pistons, cams, lifters, GT3540, fuel and ECU system and should be a walk in the park.

Don't forget the motor work involved with this level of upgrade. I've spent well over $400 just on the crankwork and head/block decks. I haven't even touched the cylinders or balanced the rotating assembly.

To date, I have spent well over $12,000 and that does not include special tools, regular tools, air tools, and all the other miscellaneous fluids and crap you end up needing. I still haven't built the fuel/turbo/intercooling/intake and exhaust manifold systems, and I'm only shooting for 500 hp or so.

Screw money trees, they take too long to grow. At age 17, your dad better be rich and willing to spoil you rotten or you better be a damn good drug dealer If you are serious, $15,000-20,000 will get you in the ballpark of a semi-reliable 650hp.
