1200 rwhp in a truck is about 1500 flywheel HP. The engine alone and that you should have built to keep this somewhat reliable, at least if we were to do it, would cost $20k. Then you have to fabricate a turbo kit to support that, maybe $7k-$10k including the exhaust. A professionally built 4l80, plus SFI flex plate and triple disc torque converter maybe $5k-$6k. 1500 HP fuel system should be at least $3k including fuel injectors done right. A good set of rims and tires that might handle that on the street will be about $4k. High HP driveshaft about $1k. Then, high performance radiator, trans cooler, oil cooler done right, another $2k roughly. It goes on and on really, you don't just throw together 1200 rwhp and expect it to just piece together and be like a stroll in the park, like its just this simple parts list and nothing will come up. Your best bet is most likely to have this built in the USA, or you will probably end up buying $30k-$60k worth of parts and your truck will probably not run right, or will be broken all the time. I'm just mentioning this based on my experience in the middle east. Feel free to contact me directly if you would like to discuss in more detail.

ya check into having it shipped here. In the USA we have the best speed shops in the world for American iron. The shipping to your counrty would coast more then a shop here would charge over internet prices and tax. You can get it done right and be in your budget. Why do you want 1200hp? Would a truck with that much power require a role cage on the strip if you have rules like that in your country? This is a job for a GM Truck expert not some one that works primary on other vehicles. New Era in New York would be a great place to take this.

Just throwing this out there, I work directly with Alghandi Auto in Dubai on a daily basis, we have worked with them to develop a 900 flywheel hp package for trucks that is closer to your budget, and we have done it a few times now and it has proven to be pretty reliable. However, this package is supercharged using a Whipple 2.9 twin screw. This package would allow you to have your truck built in the middle east, and have a closer support system for your build. Just figured I'd give you some other options in case you are still thinking about it...

Unless you lower your hp target to 700-800rwhp, I would say buy the truck from the US. Have it sent to speed shop to modify it then ship it out.
This way you save the shipping cost back and forth and you could get a good price for your stock parts, transmission, engine, exhaust...etc.
Just wondering if this is for street or track. If it's street then it will be an overkill and it better be 4x4 to be able to hook in the street.
I have a 700+rwhp Nissan Safari (SUV), manual tranmission, and it cannot hook on the street in 1-3 gear without engaging 4x4.
