What would it take to rev past 9grand? just some pulleys, fuel pump, chip - computer, injectors, alot of air???

besides the accesory's and fuel whats holding it back
The SVT Countour is the baby SHO. it picked up where the SHO evolution left off. If SVT existed in 89 the SHO would have been a SVT Taurus i swear to god...

injectors aren't the problem. they are rated to 24lbph. However once you reach past 300 bhp this is what you need..

30lb/hr, which yields about 280bhp before slipping (400bhp static), and
36lb/hr, which yields about 335bhp (480bhp static),
and finally,
a self modified 30 lb unit which gives 47lb/hr, which yields about 438bhp (625bhp static).

as far as me and chris' engines making it that far our trannies wouldn't. now if you took the engine out and did it that way with just headers and the chip, pullies, no accessories, it'd be a piece of cake as long as you kept the fuel output up...
