Default 408 Performance Question

Im wondering what you guys think an impressive 408 would be.
Im talking an N/A 408 what would make people just sit back and say wow that thing moves, or be impressed by some big HP numbers.
Now not something ALLOUT race, you know drive on the street, be able to stay together for a whole season. Not a 14:1 HUGE solid roller motor.

I guess this might seem vague but I just want to know how easily or not easily it is to impress people with ls1 numbers now that pretty much EVERYONE has one.

i think any hydraulic cammed 408 over 550 rw is pretty impressive but in all honesty with the right setup 600 rw or more is achieveable on 93.

Ok I gotcha, Yea Im lookin to do a 408 that people kinda look twice at. I dont want something that everyone else has done.

What kinda ET would be impressive for an all motor 408 in a 3500# car with full suspension and a th400 with a brake?
