What happens when you reach that magical 1k HP level?

I want to see if my car can hit 8's at it's current power level. I figure it needs a very low 1.3x 60ft and tons of weight taken off/out... or just buy the 390 and smaller pulley : ) I'm done spending money for awhile though. Let me enjoy what I've already paid for!

Mike have you thought about filling your LS2 block? Should be able to handle upwards of 1200+ then with billet caps.

Alright bitches I HAVE a new motor now just need to get some things together (new top end) and I will be putting her back together. I might make an extra 50hp now so I think the car need a cage and a few other safety upgrades so it will still be a few more months but I now have something to put back in the little red Camaro.
