it gets worse with each reply.
I didn't say it wasn't doable. I said you're in for a RUDE awakening if you ever go through with it. Most people are all talk and never build, or part out the build before finishing, look at how many "1000rwhp" setups are for sale all the time. Making the power is the easy part. Daily drivable is where you're in for a surprise, specially with a T56. It won't be your only form of transportation to say the least.
Good luck.

1000RWHP = hope you like hooking in fourth. i've both ridden in and driven cars with 700-1000RWHP, one a streetcar and one a full blown 25.2 car. it provided a VERY nice lesson in throttle control.

For you:
So you get mad when people tell you what to expect and then come back and accuse them of not being qualified to answer your questions?
You obviously have some experience if you are running 8 second times as shown in your sig, especially given that Six Speed rebuilds JUST ran an 8 after a lot of work and a "few" T56 trannies. I hope they can get you what you want.

to keep my car daily drivable and a 6 speed i had to keep a 'spare' $3500 t-56 to back up my $3500 t-56 in the car. they are both broke now and did not go back into my new car. you may be able to buy one $7000 m6 that should not break but we havent even talked about clutches yet

it depends on how you make that 1000hp, its its a blown motor with a huge cam then, yes, it will be very hard to control on the street.
if its a a big cube twin turbo motor and you don't run it at full boost on the streets (lets say you turn it down 10-15psi to the 500-600rwhp range) then its not quite as impossible as some people would like you to believe it is.
just food for thought
...
just make sure you get a really nice clutch (the disks of which you'll prob have to replace in 5 to 10 thousand miles) and dont mind driving an on/off switch

Agreed , you will need to go as big as possible on the cubic inches so you can go as mild as possible on the camshaft and compression to keep it streetable while still making the power you are looking for . The trouble with that is it gets damn expensive and requires some serious heads and power adder .

As for going with a TH400 , thats a very good unit for strenght and reliability but sucks due to not having an OD . The 4L80E would get the nod for a high powered street car in my book over a TH400 or 4L60E .

Well, I agree with you on the Juice. Thats the plan for now. But I wanted to spray something bigger than 150, and at this point I'm gonna need a new rotating assembley. But why would I strok to 383, why not go 408ci with a 250-300 shot? And then I started researching the LSX.

You can make 1000 hp through 300 cubic inches but it damn sure won't be a street car or anything near it . IMO , a street car is something that is in full street trim , everything works on it and its ran on pump gas reliably . I'll take a huge pump gas engine with nitrous any day over some smaller engine with a huge turbo or super charger on it .

As for the Ford comment ..... I personally don't care what kind of mileage it gets . At $8.00 a gallon for fuel , its damn expensive to race car regardless .

As for a nitrous combo , as long as you have the parts to support it , a 350-400 shot of nitrous is just a button away . Make 600-650 on the engine and let the bottle do the rest for you .

I'm going the 6speed route with the new build and am going with the RSGear tranzilla and a SPEC dual iron disk clutch. The iron clutches are hard to live with but I'm going to be doing land speed racing and need the manual. So in other words, you need a good 10K for tranny/clutch for a bulletproof setup, otherwise, just do a built 4l80e. That would be the most cost efficient/economical route to go with.
