skunk2 Pro1's will be the best bang for your buck for that power level...

Lots of people run them and they have great results, without breaking the bank..

GSR cams if you have $50 to spend
ITR cams if you have $200 to spend
skunk2 cams if you have more than $200 to spend.

I would recommend using a precision billet 6262 or 6265 with a a/r .82 turbine housing. Journal bearing or Dual Ball Bearing is up to you. Those will be perfect for 525-720ish. It would support more than 720whp but at that number you might be better off going with the Precision billet 6765 because of a much greater torque curve.

Im not sure they're is a limit if money is not a factor. I think eagle claims their rods to 600whp but im sure ppl have pushed past that. I am running Manley I-Beams.

I saw a dyno sheet from jeff evans tuning where a b16 made 800+hp, I heard of a b16 making 900hp. Precision 6262 would be a good turbo for 600whp.

yea im after lookin at a few threads here and id say the precision 6262 is looking good . so if i make 600hp and in a car that weights about 800 odd kg with me in it , hopefully ill get some good times , well as long as i head outside ireland.

so with pro1s and a precision 6262 now onto the intake .

would the victor x be good enough . i heard about a full-race intake before but never seen one myself anyone any info ? or the magnus ?

The VictorX is the best bang for the money. There are a bunch of nice manifolds but they very pricey, the victor x may be the best choice for you. I used the Skunk2 pro series intake manifold for my gsr last year and this year i have switched over to the VictorX. There are 800-1100whp cars out there running the VictorX manifold.

I'm running the tuner1s which are like ITRs but I've got a street car. If I had a GT35R (600hp) and it was mainly a drag car I'd go Pro1s. Just make sure you degree them before tuning. I hear those are really sensitive.
