We are rating them at 1000HP. How you get there is up to you 
If you are looking at that much power, I would be more concerned with the rotating. Make sure you use billet main caps and good quality internals.
------
No knock sensors as in LS1/6 locations. I modify the blocks to accept the LS1/6 sensors on the sides of the blocks but I have not completely tested that location yet. I'll be finished with that this week. Just mounting them in the spare motor mount holes will not work with some header systems.

You wouldnt believe the number of people who go out after buying a brand new motor, strap on nitrous and run it with NO CLUE on how to tune.
Motor spins a bearing, throws a rod, lifts a head or drops a ringland from detonation. Person calls vendor and says "I never ran nitrous, your motor is junk"
Someone decides to swap injectors, the tuner makes a mistake and washes down the cylinders.
Someone misshifts at 6800rpm motor sees 9800rpm and throws a rod.
Engines fault? NOPE!
Owners fault? YEP!

And what intake would you use?

LS2 blocks have the knock sensors on the side of the block instead of the lifter valley on the Gen-III's.
Has anybody tried adapting the Gen-III sensors to fit on the side mounts of an LS2? You'd have to re-cal the knock sensor, but it might work...
