If you want to get 450 real hp out of a 351, there are two ways to go about it. You can spend quite a lot of money on a stroker motor (there are no bolt ons that will give you 100 hp, forget it) or you can supercharge the engine. Personally, I like supercharging as it does not require constant tuning once it is set up. It is also a lot cheaper, probably no more than $5000- if you do some of the work. I installed one myself on a Mustang for under $3000- and got a giant increase in power with no apparent longevity problems.... Talk to Gary about the cost of his engine, I believe he has just under 500 hp.......

cheers
