No such thing as to much. I think that's just about right.

Saw one almost finished at LPE on sunday. As usual - seemless integration and installation. There are some cool 1sts on this car that nobody else has ever done yet! This particular car was a black automatic destined for Brazil. I also saw a slightly higher hp version in the engine dyno room - PLENTY MORE!! It is for an upcoming Road and Track shoot-out, so I won't be letting the cat out of the bag here - suffice it to say, it will be competitive with the best of what every other tuner has to offer.

The guys out at LPE know how to make it all work. They have been building bad asc twin turbo for years.

With different pistons, head work, etc. you can drasically reduce the compression of the LS2 and making it much more boost friendly.

Actually, getting the tires to hook up is a problem with that much horsepower. Though the numbers are impressive it does not make for a practical street car......Just too much HP. 430 TO 450 RWHP gets you from 0 to 60 about the same time.

my 2 cents
