That being said.. if I wanted to go to the next level in power it would come with a pretty hefty price tag.
If you keep things basic and only want 500whp, it can be done for a reasonable price.

You can definitely get boosted for $10k or even less for that matter. Being boosted is one thing. How will you use the power is another. Making 1000hp means nothing if it took 6 straps on the dyno and 3 big guys in the trunk for the car to get enough traction on the rollers to read correctly.
Then there is the question of how are you going to use said power once you can lay it Shen. Are you going in strait lines while rolling? Dead stop? Hitting Twisties? Big sweepers or tight turns?
Adding power to the power plant is one thing. How are you going to use said power and in what fashion is another. This is where all the other $$$ add
VB up. Anyone but following my build thread can easily see what it takes. I probably spent $3k on top of my list on things or services but don't feel like adding it.
Then people also forget to add in the time that they spent working on the project. I have spent so much time wrenching be it's ridiculous. My siblings call my car the flying car. Three power is fun but there is always that Little bit of paranoia that something can and will go wrong so that's why I keep messing with the car. There is also that voice that tells you "hey, you already spent $xxxxx and only this great. Another $xxxx more and it will but that much better."
