what will it take?
mine also.....I love telling people mine dyno's less than 400rwhp...then proceed to drag their 500rwhp car down the 1320 
My old setup ran 93 octane pump gas.
11.3 @119 (1.5) NA...but gear/tire/and stall for nitrous
10.4@130 (1.4) 150 shot
new combo will still be a pump gas motor and should see high 10's NA and 9.50's on a big shot.

Not as impressive at 11.3's, but there nonetheless 
.The mushy stalled auto doesnt like the dyno too much, but it sure hooks like hell
These things HOOK though, much better than most unibody cars anyway.

you and your buddy's setups are hear say until there is some evidence of something real. lt1 cars can be built to the extreme just like anything else. my personal opinion would be that the fbody will take off alot better on the street. i had a mustang and with some sticky 295s in the rear it still spun like crazy

[QUOTE=Redneckbmxer24;8226589] 10K.most expensive blower $3800, 375 injectors, etc.
I think not, My D1 set up cost me app $6000.00 for pullies, spacers, and steel intakes tubes, this did not include any injectors, fuel upgrades ect. $3800.00 for the most expensive blower

LT1er's prayer! 700rwhp and 3300lbs should add up to a lot less than low 10s, there are NA 520rwhp LTx cars that weigh a little more and run high 9s.
My gut says you are not much different from your pal, claiming a 700rwhp, build I bet ends up WAY under that.
Few weeks ago I ran into a blown Merauder at the strip, he was drooling over my NA Caprice, he was running more than half a second slower
with deeper gears more stall and the intercooled blower.
The LT1 is potent in competent hands, problem is a shortage of competent hands out there.

FWIW, INTMD8 over @LS1 speed has a super bad LT1 turbo!
