I think its funny that everyone has jumped on the "you need a V160 and 8.8 rear end" band wagon. 2 years ago those options weren't available, and there were 500whp S2000s coming out everywhere. If you drive the car like a civilized person, your drive train should be fine, no clutch dumps or hard launches and your going to have a good chance of keeping your car together. You don't need to dump 10k into your drive train for 500whp, that's just plain stupid...

What type of diff reinforcement would I need?
Also, I know the tranny probably wouldn't be able to handle the power, so what tranny is suggested to handle 400-500+hp?
My main concern is the costs for all of these mods. Can I get a ballpark?

The transmission conversion most do is a v160 Toyota supra and a ford 8.8 diff. Those alone will cost nearly 12k+ to swap in.
if the v160 and 8.8 conversion really gets up to costing 12+k, there are way better/stronger/reliable options to go with.

There's a guy doing a t56 swap. Might work well and save around 4 k on the swap. Still not cheap.

Where can I get all I need for a 450+hp build?
Turbo kit, fuel system kit, etc.
Also, which manufacturers are worth looking into?
I'd love to stay under or between $7,000 - $7,500 in parts, if possible.
