Question Minimum long block hardware requirements needed to make 1000 HP on turbo, turbos?

What are the minimum hardware requirements that are needed on the long block in order to handle making 1000 HP on a single turbo or twins?

I am looking to do this using XFI and on E-85 or 93+ALKY injection
Would prefer a single turbo

1- Can a regular production block handle 1000 hp?
2- What would be the minimum up grades needed for this hp level?

Thanks for your help.

ls9 head gasket & ARP studs.
Some will say you can do it with stock rotating assembly but forged rods and pistons would be better at that level.

Does it matter which engine you start with?

Not really. Some are better than others from year to year but if you put forged rods and pistons then not really a big deal.
