Maybe this is a dumb question. I see many replies here that refer to DYNO #s what good is it if you make 500 RWHP, & some "OLD MAN" 
pulls up next to you in his STOCK LT1 and he kicks butt..
My point being if you (anyone) is looking for a faster car HP is NOT always the answer... sure HP is great for a Top Speed Race but honestly how many of you guys have raced someone at top speed?
Now if its Seat of The Pants kick **** feeling or stop light king... why not just go to 4.10 gears Drag Radial, etc.. if your Automatic like myself.. a 3000 stall converter & 3.73s will do it just fine..
I'll run ANY LT4 in a stop light race (not literally) but on the track.. I can not remember any LT4 beating me to the 330 clocks.. & I'm a STOCK Motor LT1 with only 1.6 RR & muffler eliminators.. I still have the stock exhaust manifolds & cats on my car..
And yes I agree an auto is better for drag racing, but a 6M Is more fun...
Someone correct my senile train of thought..
