Bubba, ill be brief, and thruthful on this part. your young, youve only witness about 220-250hp in your life. first off, for someone who hasent driven 600hp realize this, thats alot of hp to try to control, you may think you can handle it, but there are many people out there who thought the same thing and were wrong, look at hulks so with that Supra. you need to slowely add things onto your car, and get adjusted to the improvement overtime so by the time you will get even at 425hp youll be more comfortable and not make more mistakes. anybody says they can drive a car, but its when you actually know how to counter act the tendencies of the car when it has such an amount of power such as that. Secondly, do you remember the dealings wiht your truck when you tried to burnout infront of Advance Auto Parts and you snapped your U-joints? well your truck was 20+ years old and only had maybe 210 hp, so think of your car being 20+ years old, having 3 times the amount of power going to everything, everything will need to be replaced to handle something like that. So after you spend countless amounts of money on your engine, now you gotta buy a Transmission and a stall converter to withstand that, a strong enough driveshaft, and either a 12 bolt or a 9 bolt with comes over 1500-2000 dollars alone depending on which rear you want. then the gears, and then you gotta upgrade the supsension, and the body has to be stiffen up to take the twisting of the forces, also probably a rollcage, and a special fuel system. Your young, and the moneys not coming in fast enough to be able to buy all that and be able to maintain a car such as that. the fuel alone would have you gasping for air for how much it would be. plus you say you dont want to open the fron twice, well if your goign N/A then S/C, then you gotta open the whole engine up twice, stick with what you want and go with it. also most of the time you wont see 383's being sold wiht no more then 425-500 hp, because it begines to reach its limit for the budget builder, now your looking at NASCAR products needed, and research so the parts work correctly, and everything flows right. its too much money to put in that thing. if you really want to do anyhting, which I kno anybody who gives you this advice you ignore, just like always when I tell you things, you tend to have selective hearing, so I will tell you the best options for the money in your pocket that you have, and for what your car can handle at the moment. either go on eBay, get a set of 2.02 and 1.60 heads that have already been worked on that come off of modified cars and such, pick those up for around 300-500 bucks a pair, which is a great deal, then get a nice cam and intake, and drive around with that until you get used to it and you have more money, then go from there. Or option 2, have your spare block sent out, and have it decked and such and buy the Holley systemax set which is 3000 bucks, which isnt bad, and go from there. you wont attain the 425 they say without some decent work done to the block, so you might be around 375-400 hp, and try it, you might say whoa thats enough for me right there, or you might want more, but gradually ween yourself into high horsepower, cause it gets very unforgiving when in the 500+ hp catagory, hell some peopel cant even handle 300+hp. so if theres any good advice that has been said on this thread, buy the damn holley system and go form there.
