800 hp lq9 supercharged I'm looking at getting an lq9, and want to get 800hp. It would be going into a c3 corvette. I have an idea of what I want and just wanted to run it by and see if i'm missing anything or if I'm totally insane because this would never work.
The setup I want is-
lq9 408ci stroker
supercharger(looking for a used one around $1500)
Intercooler
forged pistons
lower compression around 8.5:1(need help on how to do that)
Meth injection
forged cam
boost gauge
boost controller
93 octane(can run 100 octane if necessary)
I'm guessing this will all come to around $6000. I know I'm a total noob so if I'm totally off tell me, but don't be a douche and just rant about it.
As a side note, I had a few questions.
Is an lq9 better or an ls1? I went with an lq9 because it's iron so stronger.
How do you lower compression?
Is 8.5:1 a good compression or should I go even lower for FI.
Does a supercharger reduce gas mileage even if you drive normal?
Could a t56 handle this much power?
What quarter mile could I expect if my car weighs 3100lbs with fuel and me?
Do I need a new driveshaft at this much power?
Thank you so much for all the help!!

Bigger injectors and fuel pump maybe a dual pump set-up also a good tune maybe look into speed density tuning Thing to consider FI always cost more then you think figure about another 2-3k on there for misc BS

Drag Radials will last about 7-8K miles on highway and there will be no ticket worries.
FI gets very expensive because of everything that must be upgraded to handle the power. For example, if you still have a 10 bolt rear axle assembly, you'll most likely break it. The 9" or S60 rear you'll want to replace it with will be in the $3,000 range.

youll want a wideband afr guage. so add another $2-300. and for 800hp, youll def need dual in-tank pumps. So another $600. huge injectors lol.. $450+.. youll need a nice clutch too....so....$1200.....and the list goes on.... Higher the HP....the more $$$ :-/ Thats y im sticking with 5-650 hp.
