how much would the procharger add to a near stock car though i thought on stock boost around 5 psi they would only put something like 440 to the wheels while the twinscrew cobra would put out over 500 to the wheels...

H/C, stall (auto car), LTs, and a D1 would KILL that Cobra. A P1 would work just fine too.
N20 is a good friend of Mr. LS1. So as stated above H/C LTs and a nice shot-o-juice would do the trick. And you'd spend less than he did on that twin-screw.

If you want to beat that guy, you're going to have to shell out a lot of dough.. he did.. and his motor is already set up for boost. I wouldn't put a lot of PSI into an LS1 unless I was ready to buy a shortblock.
But if you want to spend the dough.. a low compression forged 347 with a T-80, ported heads, custom cam.. would do the job. You'd need a new clutch too.. and a new rear end.. might as well just convert to an auto with a stall..
You could also do a 408 shortblock with killer heads, big cam, and a 200 hit and go with a multi-disc clutch. Still would need a new rear end..
Lots of ways to go..
but remember.. there's:
a) Fast
b) Cheap
c) Relaible
and you can only pick 2!

With my current setup and a 100 shot, I think I can walk one. I raced one before my H/C, 90/90 setup and some other stuff. The two I've raced back then both either blew the tires off or didn't know how to launch with the power they had. But, both times, they hit 2nd and screamed past me and pulled me hard.
You need too much to ruin your life financially trying to beat your buddy. I'd plan something sinister ... j/k. If you've got about $15,000 to spend, you can run with him. And with that kind of power, you'd better have another $5,000 when you start breaking ****.

IF it's a 2.8 Kenne Bell reaching it's full potential boost of 26 PSI, it's gonna' take a lot to beat it. That's a helluva a lot of boost and a lot more than 600 HP. Find out what it is and let is know.

Plus you have to take into account drivers...not everyone can drive/launch a 500-600hp car epecially when its a manual and has an independant rear. You take a stalled LS1 with a decent heads/cam package, and 150shot with some good DR's, you've got him beat or at the least you have a good chance. Maybe not at the dyno but on the street. People make too much of dyno numbers. Just my opinion....I could be wrong!!
