500whp is what i'm shooting for, i did some looking around about a week before i decided what to do with mine. 500ish was in my price range of $4500, that didn't include a tranny rebuild though, or an ffim. so tack on another $1k already lol
i would love to build a monster car, but i am also a realist and would rather have things done correctly the first time.
7m has a crappy flowing head.. fix that first...
get oversized valves, get a nice set of cams, and you will have to do something about intake, as well.
port and polish the head... alot.

Stock crank will hold it, Mibrum hasn't twisted a crank since he fixed the fuel wash problems, and he's well over 1000.
Go to http://7Mpower.com and have a look at the writeup there by Will Neely.
You will absolutely need new flywheel bolts, Duane snapped his at ~800. You'll need a better harmonic balancer on the front, too, talk to ATI about getting one custom made.
I suspect you'll need new bolts on the driveshaft to rear diff interface, too.
There's a crapload of other stuff you'll end up needing - as suggested earlier, have a look at some of the already existing high horsepower builds, that will give you an idea of where to start. Remember you're shooting for even higher numbers, so everything will have to be one step up.
Oh, and one last thing - be prepared for a lot of stuff to break.

You'll need more than 1 ssqv, I'd just go with a Tial. 3" intercooler piping, 4" coldside. 4" exhaust, and a bigger TB, and some amazing tuning.
i once thought that making a big hp and still reliable 7m won't be that difficult and expensive , but i only can say, forget it, it will take a load of research, a really good engineshop that really know what they are doing and really really deep pockets.
I really am a 7m fanatic, but if i had to do it over i would go with a 2jz (and i'm not even half way with my 7m project, and my powergoals are half of your 1000hp plans).

A "genuine" 500+rwhp 7M that can be daily driven at 500rwhp without changing things for the dyno is a handful and great fun.
Reliable 1000rwhp driver.... as much as I'd like to see it happen it's a HUGE ask.

J: LOL
Dutch: Yes it's possible but yet to see it in a Mk3 let alone one that can be street driven at 1000rwhp settings.

powerglide 2spd auto and about a 5k stall, that ruined the street fun part. Anyone know if the r154 can take the abuse??? High HP 1JZ/R154 guys dont count, not enough torque to break it... :sarcasm:
It can't. Will Neely has been quoted as saying that he could peel the teeth off the gears inside the R154 like pulling corn off a cob at will, and he was a lot lower than 1k.buldozr;904144 said:
You might be able to *make* it hold.
