Im new and have questions

Hey,
I am going to be buying either a 03, 04 ,05 ,06 Evo. I just have a few questions.
What will i need for the car to be around 350-400WHP?
The stock block with everything is good to 500HP right?
Would the car be reliable at 400whp?
What pricing range should i look for?

you definitely shouldn't get ahead of yourself with mods. The first mod is driving the car so you get a good feel for it. When you can handle initial power of the car, slowly mod it to learn how the car works. Of course I'm assuming you are doing your research before purchasing an evo.

As above, research so you know what you are getting into. These cars need regular maintenance. You first should save about $2000. For brake pads ~$175, brake fluid $20, premium gas, synthetic oil changes ~$50, clutch $400-1000, broken parts, tires $400-600 just to name a few. In other words, you need to have money for regular maintenance and if something breaks before you dive into modifying. Otherwise, you could end up with a modded car that you can't drive because you spent all the money on mods. Search for 'maintenance' and 'problems'.
