Who has made over 1000rwhp with FI and an LSx motor...THE LIST Just like the title says, what companies/individuals have built an LSx motor that has made over 1000rwhp using forced induction as the primary power adder. A secondary power adder, like nitrous, is also acceptable when used in conjunction with FI. This list will count any of the LSx based iron/aluminum blocks and head combinations as LSx, so C5R stuff is eligible.
I want this to be an informative thread so that people looking to make that kind of power can look at the list and see who has done it and get an idea of where to go to get a setup from someone that has been there and done that. What I do NOT want this list to become is a...'my builder said that I should make 1000rwhp' or 'I should be over the 1000rwhp mark when my setup is together' thread. If you have a 1000rwhp motor and did not build it yourself then tell us who built/tuned it.
I wanted this list because I have seen an increasing number of posts by people post that want/are building a 1000rwhp capable LSx motor...and I just want a little clarification on the shops/people who have actually made it.
Here is the list as I know it:
- Wheel-To-Wheel Powertrain (has built several)
- Matt Harlan/Stenod Racing
- Hardcore Motorsports (not sure if they belong here or not or if they are using a W2W motor)
- Dark Dragon Motorsports
- Cartek
Please post up others that you know about for fact...not he said/she said stuff.

I like the fastest times list better since dynos can't go down a track. 
Your list pretty much covers it unless there's some 1000hp unicorns hiding in some barn.
There's a guy named Jake in MN with a twin turbo LT1 making a touch of 1000 too.

this guys.
https://ls1tech.com/forums/forced-induction/298208-ptk-lt1-car-finall-made-track-pass-t88.html
i take it your talking about guys if they havent dynoed that have run a fast enough MPH or an engine dyno.
W2W cars have only been on an engine dyno,
i havent heard of HardCore cars on a dyno
and Harlans car dyno numbers wernt released but ive heard him say that they were over 1000rwhp on the mustang dyno with lots of wheelhop or spinning
all of them have run a fast enough MPH to be over 1000rwhp.

Yes, MPH in a known weight car or engine dyno (factoring in drivetrain loss) counts.

That is an LT1 car, impressive to be sure...but I want this to be specifically an LSx list.

The car last time I saw it was at around 1200rwhp. It's a twin turbo 408 with a sheetmetal intake.....
The owner's name is Stacy Barnett. It was previously a sheet metal intake, solid roller 422ci motor running a 300 shot.
