Buddy of mine build a few ls imports and all of them around 450+hp feel like they are out of control. Very unstable and kind of scary. You should make somewhere. In the 500s with the tq hit of a 150shot its gonna move around alot. Gl with the build!

A buddy of mine sprayed a forged LS7 with a 300 shot for a couple of years. That was not a sleeved block and never had a problem.
As long as the tune is good, should be ok.
A 427 on a 150 shot should make 650ish to the wheels fairly easily.

around 650 is the the goal. did your friend have a forged crank and rods as well? 300 is 150 more than ill ever go.
