If you want to be VERY unique, make great power, without disrupting the the weight balance too much, put in an LS1 and run a twin turbo setup. I guarentee that 800+ ft-lb will be enough to shred some tires (and probably axles) apart.

But at any rate, even if you keep the F20 and aspire for 450-600 whp, there's a lot of work that needs to be done. You will need to have a full engine build performed. Forged internals, machined to exact spcifications to start with. A complete re-vamp of the fuel system, a full standalone ECU, and then you haven't even gotten past the engine bay yet. The clutch, flywheel, transmission, differential, axles, and driveshaft will all need to be either strengthened or outright replaced.

I have no doubt that you knew this already, but just wanted to make sure you knew what you were getting into...tens of thousands of dollars, and several months of downtime.
