looks like you should just stick wiht the sti or get an ls1 a lot easy to get that goal but if you need it to be an LT1 a nice turbo set-up will do it.

Start with an LSx car. Trust me I have 600 RWHP and it would be alot easier with a LSx base car

You will need Boost or juice at this point in time

6 speed or auto car? why not set an et/mph goal instead of a dyno #?

le3 heads/cam
355 ~12:1 compression
full bolt ons
GOOD TUNE
6 speed and 10 bolt
True 150 shot

That will get you there, could do it on pump gas also if you wanted, or run a fuel cell and race gas for the nitrous then run pump gas daily.

If money isn't an issue start calling up sponsors on the right and have them build you a motor....

you don't have to go crazy all motor with nitrous. get something in the low 400 rwhp area and spray a 150-200 shot.

couple years ago I built my LE3 383 for about $6500 intake to oil pan. things have gotten a little more expensive but you should still be able to do it for under $7500.

You'll still need some better heads and cam if you go with a blower.

Will this be a driver or a race car? You want race gas or a pump gas setup?

could always go forged 396 full solid roller then convert some SBC 2.2 heads and have a custom sheet metal intake made then go with a turbo or some spray.

Some decent cubes & N20..you are looking for over 700 Engine.

Go with a LSX setup, it will be cheaper and more powerful. There is a guy that built a 454ci LSX that put out 930hp all motor on an Engine Dyno, he spins up to 8800RPM's..
