There is no bolt on way to 1000rwhp in the MK3 with the 7MGTE under the hood.
Love the car, and the engine, but I'm also not an idiot about the money to power ratio of this combination.
If you really like, the MK3 chassis/body, and want to make one faster than everyone else, here is the simple version.
World Products LS3 block and heads for 7.0L displacement.
Custom billet crank. (World IIRC sells this as well.)
Pauter rods.
Forged pistons of your choice, coated of course.
Dry sump oil system, or accusump at minimum for those moments when there is no oil pressure due to slosh, or start up.
Two GT4088's
Custom exhaust manifolds with Tial WG's.
Custom intercooler with twin side inlet lower tank, and single upper outlet tank. (Vertical fin design, wide as the front rails, tall as possible for the most surface area, and flow possible.)
Custom intake manifold with 90 or 100mm TB.
Motec EFI
1000cc injectors fed by large fuel pump that is inturn fed by a swirl tank fed by a few fuel pumps. (So you never have a situation where the fuel is sloshed away, and you run lean.) A rear sump'd stock tank might be OK, but it would not be as good under full brake application...
Built GM auto of your choice.
IJ's custom Ford 9" rear...
Custom driveshaft for the same.
My brakes.
Cam of your choice with all the associated high end GM/Pushrod/Rocker stuff and large valves from World Products blah blah blah..
Should be easy 1200hp on pump gas engine.
Would be insane to drive, but perhaps not much faster, if any than the nicely built 650hp MK3 with a 7MGTE under the hood. (Traction is the reality of life, and IRS is not very much fun for the drag races, otherwise, you would see it in top fuel cars right?)
Want more?
Buy a AWD car like an AUDI RS6, and then go hog wild with your money. (A 1000hp+ A6 or A8 would be a very fast "street" car indeed.) And with AWD, you might be able to actually put down the power to the pavement more often.
Just my .02.
Based on 4 7MGTE engines, two of them strokers, and having one of the only running stroker motors at any time. (Though not currently actually, but not due to engine failure, due to me losing any intrest in this dang car at the moment LOL. )
