So lets just say I built up an engine, slapped a blower on, dropped it in at about 500rwhp. What NEEDS to be changed in the car to support it?! I mean structurally like suspension, subframe braces, strengthening driveshaft etc.

Assume the car is perfectly stock.

doesnt "need" anything BUT the car should have a roll bar, through the floor frame connectors, hardened axles, suspension pieces of your choice

500hp would certainly need an upgraded fuel system and alot of suspension work to keep it on the ground.

He said suspension wise..not fuel related wise. I'm sure he has the fuel situation figured out seeing he has a benchmark of how much he put at the wheels..

This is what I would do:

- Full Length Subframe connectors
- Battle Boxes
- Upper Control Arms
- Lower Control Arms
- Hardened Axles
