If he would be happy with 500, I say thats much more realistic.
I think its safe to say that there is no intention of DD''ing lol

500hp is a great goal to start,start there,get it right,then move on.best bet is to build the bottem end to handle what ever you decide later to throw at it.in my opinion,you want 750hp build the bottem end for 1500hp.6-bolt block can handle 600-650hp,but set up for 250-300hp to keep it safe.other thing is SS braided fuel lines,from the tank to the return.its one of those things that helps a 200hp car or a 1000hp car.these are just my thoughts,from the research i have done,take it or leave it,but good luck with your build either way.

Well No car to work on make it hard to even try the unrealistic dream of a 750 hp Eclipse.
My wife told me the bad news yesterday the guy that sold the car to someone after he said he would hold it til last night when my wife was to suppose to pick it up.
A hunt for a new car begins, oh well maybe I will find a supra.

if you do end up finding another gsx, your best bet to look for parts is gonna be buschur racing for the entire long block. And then Shep racing for the tranny and possibly axles. After that everything else is pretty standard. But for that much HP your looking at a GT42r or something along those lines and money would be definetly more than 30k, i dont even know what it would total. I think FOG had well over 50k into his EVO and he was just making over 700hp
