I would be, we easily make that with a single on stock heads. I agree on injectors, we used Holley 160's at that power level with good results. The 4303 is close to being done at that point as well. The heads and intake literally don't matter at that power level unless your really trying to hit a number at a certain boost level. It may take a few more then 20psi to reach his goal with stock stuff but who cares it'll handle it.

1000 whp is always tossed out there and myself I think it's harder than it seems.
I've no clue what mine makes and I'm a dyno operator!
My gut gut feel says it will take more than 20 psi.

The part about the 400, I believe to be a myth. After I did the auto swap I'm my 4th gen, there was only a 20rwhp drop going from the M6 to the 400..... and this was one the same dyno.

I've had a B&M converter in a turbo 4.8 and TH400 combo slip 30% on a car with 400 HP.
Yes I am contemplating using a second 4303 or a 044 on a hobbs switch to come on at 10lbs or so. Not really set on 1000 but would like to see it at least. 150s in the 1/4 in a 2900 lb car should not take 1000. Im just trying to get a guesstimate on how much itll make. Ive spoke to a few people who run the same injectors and have done various things with fuel pressure to get them to stretch out a little further. I got them for a smokin deal so I went with them. Thanks for all the feedback.
Right now i have a 9.75 fti converter that flashed to 3600 behind a 500hp single 5.3l that im gonna use for now til i save enough. Hoping itll flash to around 42ish behind the twin 370. The 400 i have is fully rollerized with brake. So hopefully it doesnt rob too much. I also plan on an aluminum driveshaft if i can or would steel be better at that power level?
If you are shooting for 1000hp on a 370" I'd honestly recommend a LS3 top end. The heads flow much better on the intake side, the intake will flow more, and you can use a 90mm throttle body instead of a 75. This should help quite a bit more. You'd have to sell you 243's and LS6 intake but that should be easy. Like the others I just don't know that 243's and a Ls6 intake is going to make this easy. That's a whole lot of power with the increased flow it will drop the resistance and it should help you meet your goals.

I recently went to the track and with roughly 900rwhp or less on a low boost setting I trapped 153mph at 3700# compared to 1k+ cars trapping 150mph. Dynoed on the same dyno within a day of each other. My th400 car doesn't compare to the M6 guys on the dyno but definitely puts it to them when it counts. I still have room in the setup, that was only shake down runs.
