That's certainly realistic and very possible. Especially after seeing all the other results. One thing is for certain. It will FLY!!! I expect a full write up when you get satan's chariot back.
And a long term follow up would be great to

I had a long.talk with Dave Golder at Hennessey about this topic...he said they will cover whatever GM does not. I dont really expect any issues honestly...the blowers are very reliable, and the LT1 so far seems to handle this level of power well.

I contemplated it, but decided this was the best route for me.

I would really like to see some install pictures of where the intercooler sits and routes to the blower. I am not familiar with the Novi blower, I have always used Vortech. I also looked on the ECS site but didn't see pictures of the kit or the components.
600 WHP is more than enough I would think.....you'll just be sitting and spinning the tires otherwise.
