I remember back in 2002 when I got my first stroker engine from Agostino Racing Engines, a 436ci stroker. It made 500 RWHP/500RWTQ. After driving it for a while I wanted a LOT more.....500 wasn't fun anymore.
Everyone said 700-800 RWHP cannot be used on the street. Nobody can handle it, you will kill yourself....blah, blah, blah. I have no less than 20 friends/acquaintances in South East Florida with well over 1,000 RWHP.....and they are all daily driving street cars. A handful are in the 1,300-1,400 RWHP range.
1,000 RWHP is OLD NEWS. I'll say what I did back in 2002....which was: There will be 1,000 RWHP everywhere in a few years, so why can't I have 700 RWHP.
So I'll say this today: There will 1,500+ RWHP STREET CARS everywhere in a few years from now....thats a fact.

OH....and its not like we cannot have VERY reliable 1,500-2,300 HP LSX set ups and SBC set ups right now.......its just a matter of cash.
Nelson Racing Engines will build you one today if you have the cash. LSX 454 with 2,000+ HP.......drop it in your F-Body and go for a drive.

I agree completely , I had a 647 rwhp new edge . While the car was fast I was finding myself wanting more. There is no such thing as too much horsepower . Hell we got guys running around in 8 second cars with solid roller BBC , 2 stages of juice and using them on the back roads too me that's way less street able then 1000 rwhp turbo ls car. Beauty of turbo is you can always turn it down if the road/track conditions are suspect . My original goal is too be able to make 1000 rwhp easily and keep ac, and being able to crank the boost, spray two nozzles and run race gas and see close to 1500. Everybody says why would you do all the work to your ls1 and this v1 kit when you're talking about a 408 twin turbo?! I plan on using the drive train in a 3rd gen Camaro I have laying around . 550-600 rwhp in a 3rd gen with a m6 wil make for a fun little shop car, and something the wife can blast around in when she is bored

4500 dollars and I can have you a T4 turbo built that will support 1500 rear wheel horsepower.
It wont fit any prefab kits... of course anything making that much power probably aught to be custom built anyway.

Its costly....but the Nelson Racing 16 injector intake is awesome. Drive around on 91 or 93 pump gas in the main gas tank....then as boost builds the other 8 injectors begin to spray race gas from a stand alone tank.
So you have that mild mannered 700-800 RWHP car just driving casual and not maxing out boost......but when you need all the HP available you simply push the pedal harder.....and you get your 1,000+ RWHP.....
Very cool.

Shouldn't be a whole lot of difference except the 7868 should spool quicker and the 7875 should pull hard up top where the 68 turbine wheel will run out of steam at 6

The 7868 came on like a light switch which is fun but kinda tough to drive on a standard street tire. It also struggled at 5,500 and higher.
The 7875 is much more linear and still spools quickly but pulls to 6,500 all day long.
It also judging by the amount of fuel I had to add makes as much if not more power at 7 lbs. as the 7868 did at 11 lbs.
The turbine is loud AF too which gives me a chubby lol.

Specs are 230/230 .609/.609 115+2 I think.
It'll pull through to 6K, you'll just notice it starts to strain.
If its a street car though its nice because you can short shift it and ride the fat torque wave lol.
