Re: need opinions

If i had enough money i could get 500 horsepower out of 2.0 ford.

I think you need to be more specific with your question. For starters, using what parts? Naturally aspirated, boosted, or nitrous oxide? In what kind of vehicle?

Re: need opinions

Starting from scratch, $7500 would be a good starting point.

A lot but not all the horse power is in the heads and pistons you need to build the rest of the engine so it will stay together.
