Nick,

Not discounting your accomplishments in ANY WAY but my point was that he's looking for a proven kit (meaning mass produced and proven not to have any heating issues). That's why I said what I said.

Forget blowing it up, why not sell the block and get some $$ out of it and start fresh..

Maybe a Warhawk?? I saw a real nice one down at ECS on Wednesday with a single turbo going in it. Doug said it was going to make 1500hp no problem .

The warhawks are good for aroudn 3K HP! I think 06Z51montredvert is right!

If you can afford it, sell your existing motor and do it RIGHT from the ground up!

How safe/easy to make 650-700whp on a forged LS3 408 supercharged? Centri blower?

This is what you call a thread hijack. To answer your question. Very easy. See sig. Those #'s on pump gas and a very hot engine because I wanted worst case scenario. Even though I had to shut down early due to clutch slip, I proved with earlier runs that the car can easily do 950.

If you don't want to put a ton of money into a build, our LS2 build is a great way to go. http://www.exoticperformanceplus.com...html?item=1715 It depends on how much power you want to make, as the 4 bolt heads will limit you to somewhere around 20 to 22 psi of boost. If your goal is for more boost than this, then I would go with a 6 bolt block and head combo. Bob
