Hey guys I am planning on my future mods and ultimately my goal is going to be around 750-800whp. I know I can get near there with a pure 900 and port injection but I want to do this safely with good supporting mods. This is a weekend street car so I won't be doing many digs or track days. Looking for a little advice regarding the next moves. I have the money to spend to do it right. Current setup: intake/dp/MHD reflex E40 tuned making 550whp/600tq. I have been thinking of doing the following: CSF manifold w/ port injection and fuel pump upgrades, pure 900, clutch, front/rear sway bars +/- coilovers.
1) Top mount is tempting but doesn't really seem necessary or have any advantages for my goals. That being said I am leaning towards the pure 900 but I see very little info about it thus far. Opinions? I hear people trashing the reliability of all the "hybrid" turbo companies so not sure what to think there. Seems like the top mount kits are more reliable once installed and dialed in but overall has more moving parts / room for potential issues.
2) If I am not tracking / beating the car does it make any sense to get the upgraded radiators and such? Obviously the manifold is important so that will be upgraded.
3) Best supporting drivetrain mods to handle and put down the power? I live in the city so as much as I would like to have the car lowered I am happy at stock height so I am not scraping everywhere. Sway bars / end links / coilovers ? The clutch obviously will be upgraded.
4) From the interwebs it seems like B58's start blowing around 700whp. Is there any benefit of building the motor for my goals or let it blow if it wants to blow and then build it at that time?
5) Lastly does it make sense to pay 3x the price for forged wheels to save 2lbs per wheel or will it not be noticeable on the street...
Appreciate any help! Merry Christmas!
