Default GN with TT LQ9 1000HP?

OK guys the story goes like this. Divorce... sold my TT stage 2. Parted out lots of other things on car ect. The car and my wallet are ready to roll again.
I could build another stage 2, but they are rare as chicken lips. Car has NICE cage and ford 9 rear. I have a LQ9. Plans are port stock heads,JE pistons Compstar rods stock crank billet caps and all arp studs top and bottom.Im gona build all hot parts,intercooler,and sheet metal intake.( I love my TIG !)
BS3, 2-PTE bb 6262 .69 ar ex housings tial gates and BOV. Can this combo make 1000hp 1000tq? Shooting for 5.40 in the 1/8

your plan sounds good except maybe the ported stock heads. Aftermarket heads have thicker decks and hold up better to high boost without pushing water.

BTW i love those turbo sixes, I would to see you go back with one of those. It's cool to see them haul *** and out run the big blocks. I recently got a article in my GMHTP about a GN going 7.97 with a single gt47-88 and 274ci. Plus in most classes if you run a 6 you get a hell of a weight break.

the o ring will help but upgrading the heads will make it easier to make the numbers your trying to make also, plus if the LSX your planning isnt to big (440-454) I would think you could reuse heads like TFS 235's.

And the stock crank will hold about 1000hp.
