You're gonna need a lot more than 1600 hp to hit 400mph. 3 centri blowers and a pair of rear mounted Nagasaki noisy bois might do the trick though. Sounds like a solid weekend project!

Was fiddling around with some gearing apps ..& watching some high sped videos there’s a car claiming it will go 332. I Guthrie I could at least get the Vette up to 4 and a quarter ...! Gear ratio I’ve drawn up will make it there spinning 8k

it shouldn’t really take more then .50 6th also a 3.00 differential...
Leave all other stock gearing alone .


I know if can get a twin screw cheap sometime it’s worth going for ...& swap the 3.8 over to a 4.0 maybe a 4.1 or something.... this way twin supercharger will support some 1000 injectors..perhaps with a bit of aero dynamic work and some fun time with a virtual wind tunnel and digital image can work out what it will do & then work on drag coefficients for road force dampening and handling....seems pretty realistic....feels like 60 in a caddie...
