yeah for budget I was looking at around 4k 5 at mostDepends on your budget and mechanical abilities. No matter how you slice it 5 to 6 hundred horsepower is not going to be cheap regardless of what some "expert" says on the internet.
5-600 at the crank or tire? An lq9 with a cam should make 500 crank hp. If your goals are whp, then a 4.8/5.3 truck motor with 7875 turbo will get you there (check out the sloppy mechanics "don't BS me build").I have an 87 Cutlass Supreme and was thinking about swapping the engine for more power (approximately 500-600) any recommendations on what to swap it with?
500+ hp is asking a lot from a G body. In stock form and mint condition with ad on bracing a G body can barely take 400 hp.
