Foged Pistons

Meziure elect. pump
Hooker Lt's with True Duals

150 wet Shot should get me in the high 120's

Can this be acomplised for under 5000

 

you could probably do it with good heads and a good custom cam with a built shortblock to handle the large shot of nitrous (383 maybe?)...for $5000? seriously doubt it. The build of the shortblock alone is going to be in the neighborhood of $3000+, the heads will run you over $1000, and the cam is another $250-$400 depending on what cam you get (not to mention miscellaneous crap which you can count on at least another $1000, like timing chain, new lifters, rockers, bolts, gaskets, tuning, etc). If you can get everything used you might be able to scrape by $5000, but everything will be...used.
