Default Fastest LS series car and most power NA

I'm having some...discussions with some mustang guys. I know I've seen over 900 hp NA on a C5R engine. I read an article in a mag a while back. Anyone have any links?

And I have no idea on fastest LS series car.

Robin Lawrence, Judson Massingil/SAM, and Joe Honeycutt/HKE have all gone 8's with naturally aspirated LSx engines, Jud being the only one to have used a C5R, if I remember correctly. Jud and Robin for sure have put up over 900hp on an engine dyno, but I don't know about Joe.

I just read an article that i think was posted by pro stock john about the SAM car making over 1000 hp on motor. I believe its a new motor in the same car the post above was talking about for this years LSX shootout.

As far as the fastest, I dont know if anyone has a big cube LSX motor in a complete tube frame pro stock style car, because they would probably be the fastest.

I think it was the GMPP nova from the LSX shootout did like a 7.70 on a **** load of nitrous and 2 carbs. I think the owner is a member here.

Our 427C5R here at SAM was making over 940HP N/A last year. We are going with a new combo this year, 436LSX. We're shooting for 980-1000 on motor. The new setup is being put on the dyno as I type this, so we should find out some #'s soon.

Nobody has gone quicker than Casper with a gen 3 engine yet, although 212mph was run in Australia a few years back in a Ute.
