    thats endless, and depends on whether you SC it or NOS it. Are you just asking for bolt-ons? To vague of a question.

              If it was the GN that burned the tires on the dyno, that was a V8. The car belongs to Chris Chow, you can search over at turbobuick.com for more info.

                    Super Six Ported Upper/Lower Intake Manifolds

                    Raised Rev Limiter

                    Forged High Compression Pistons

                    Headers/Exhaust
                    Cold Air Induction
                    Walbro Fuel Pump and Bigger Injectors
                    Carbon Fiber Driveshaft
                    ZZP Electric Water Pump
                    Short Serpentine Belt (no a/c, no water pump)
                    Extensive Computer Tuning

                    You're probably looking at near 275-300 to the wheels, possibly a decent amount more if done right. As far as forced induction goes, you could put a billet crank/rods, forged/coated pistons, low compression, the above mods, and a huge turbo/intercooler or supercharger/intercooler with a lot of nitrous making the sky the limit!

                        I think the answer is as much as you're willing to spend is how much horsepower you can get out of it. I think there's a 3.8 with a Force Fed turbo kit and some other goodies that's attempting to run 10's. So 500 apparently isn't that far off. If I'm not mistaken there have been some GTP's in the 10's.
