Default Hypothetically Speaking

1500rwhp:

What engine/fi setup would it take to gain this rwhp amount and still be able to drive the car on the street?

Lets factor in what trans, rear, and safety equipment needed as well. Lets also come up with a round about price for the entire setup as well(not installed).

This is just hypothetical and I know dyno numbers dont mean anything. This is just for fun. Post up what you would build to create this rwhp.

vette and a twin turbo LSX.

engine built by someone like nelson racing or W2W. 30psi should be more than enough to make that.

To do properly would cost close to $100k including all the chassis work & fabrication.....but if there is a will, there is a way.
