You looking at buying one used or from CAS? Cause I would NOT buy from them. They had a tendency to not call customers or give them parts. But did take their money.

I'd say 1000hp is certainly obtainable with upgraded turbos and BS3 or Gen7. With the standard kit on stock pcm...well into the 600s should be obtainable.

Really not much to see of the kit on the car -- best looked at on an engine stand.

Think I might just get a T76 kit and 427 stroker from LS1speed. Any opinions on that?

I don't think you'll need the stroker motor. A 348 can max that turbo out with that kit pretty easy. The kit is damn good, I would just stick with stock cubes, that'll save you a lot of $.

Later,
Dave
