Not sure if anyone has run the setup yet with Garrett GT35's. I heard they spool extremely quick. And are some of the best turbos on the market today.
I am hitting 1000rwhp, even if i I have to spray the damn thing lol.

First off I'll say that with decent heads and a good bootom end that a 408 should be able to put our more than 1000RWHP, as it has already been done lots of times by several friends of mine down in Australia.
Without getting into an argument about the whole STS design principle, all I can say is that I disagree fundamentally with turbos in the rear, but in terms of just purely a dyno number, provided it can make boost required, it'll most likely go 1000 RWHP.

w/ j-rod in the seat, good times for sure, but w/ that power traction will be an issue 
15-20lbs will most likely see ~1000hp, i know there are great heads on that motor... and w/ those bb gt35's... it will def. push some air

J, I will keep you posted
Record now I believe is 9.5 @ 150 something for a 6spd Vette?
Anything is possiable with the right amount of $$$
