399hp????

I checked to see if I had forge rods in my 01 and I don't(I had look just to make sure).

What does it take(beside money)to get to 399HP?

Do I need inj's?

Bigger HPOP?

RR fuel system?

Bigger turbo?

I will be on a dyno soon to get a idea of my HP I have to start with.

Injectors, such as a set of hybrids, fuel system, turbo, custom tuning.

You have most of the basics already. Some fuel system tweaks (Full RR not necessary). You'll want at least a van turbo -- the 1.0 housing won't be enough. And definitely injectors. You may or may not need a bigger HPOP, but that depends on the injectors. Hybrids with tuning and you shouldn't...

All you need is a quick call to me, LOL. But Hybrids and a van turbo should get you there, or a 38R just to make sure.

That is a million dollar question Having an Early 99 you have forged rods and are good to go. Should be get you a 38R and injectors ordered up?
