What would it cost to build a 8.50 Procharged 3v?
You'll need ~1000rwhp to go that fast so the relevant question is how much would it cost to build an engine, drivetrain, and chassis to handle 1000rwhp? Your best route there would be a twin turbo all forged 5.0L stroker.
Cost? Let's say 10 grand for the engine, 10 grand for the twin turbo & fuel systems, 10 grand for the drivetrain, 10 grand for brakes/suspension/chassis upgrades, and 10 grand for other miscellaneous stuff, so 50 grand wouldn't be wide of the mark.

Don't waste your time with a Procharger on a 3v, tried that, didn't work so well, turbo is the only way to go if you want to run mid 8s, setup is considerably easier and cheaper

I have yet to go to the track, but my car feels amazing.

110 JLT intake
Charge motion delete plates
Steeda underdrive pulleys
Cattless X pipe (headers to come)
Ford Performance aluminum driveshaft
4.10 gears with Moser axles and Detroit Truetrac
15×8 Drag stars with Nitto 275/60R15 Drag radials
17×7 front Drag stars
BMR K member, A arms, radiator support and tubular front bumper support
Rear is full BMR spherical everything
I deleted the AC, shaker 500, all speakers and amps
Lito tuned on 92 octane

I personally like the stock cam but am considering swapping for lope

My car has a 5R55S and a FTI 3500 stall is on order. I will pair with a 300M input shaft, Trans Go shift kit, new Solenoids and servo.

Six months ago Angel fire went tits up and all of my webpages went with it. I was extremely annoyed about that because I hadn't downloaded and saved them.on my laptop either and they're seemingly lost forever. :(
WTF ? Are you saying all the stuff on your superb site is now gone ?? That was a wealth of info...superbly done....and very accurate.
