I have been very impressed with the simplicity and power of Rob Raymers kit.
But for those kind of numbers you want, you might want to go in the direction that y2khawk has (twins).

1st, buy Corky Bells. maximum Boost... Understand the system as thoroughly as possible. Expect to spend 10-20k if you do some of the labor. Plan on compresssion in the 8.5:1 range so an engine rebuild and new cam may be necessary. Your heads have small CC chambers so they should be gone...otherwise the piston dish will have to be huge, weakening the piston. basically, start over, though you can use your block and perhaps rods. If you want to keep the stock crank, have it hardened. Learn how to weld. Thats a start.

10K will get you started, expect to spend over 20K after the dust settles. If what engine you currently have is still running, sell it first because it's worth more as a whole than it is in pieces. Nothing you currently have will be any use at those ridiculous power levels you spit, the block mabye, but buy a C5R block if you want 1000 HP to stay together for any length of time.

probably have to have a setup like Ronnie Duke, but you said you wanted a turbo instead, which is possible.

That there is just mean.

Instead of smart *** answer I'll give my opinion on what is needed. IMHO an aluminum block would be risky trying to make 1000hp. You would be safer going with an 6.0 iron block. Your heads are all wrong and you will need some pistons from Diamond what would be good for boost. You gonna need some LQ4 heads. The cam might work but would make more power with a custom grind thats appropriate for the setup. That would be a start for just the motor.

Now you have to think about drivetrain, rear end, and suspension just to put it to the ground properly. Good luck on the sponsor thing. I think we all here need a sponsor
