Northern Metro-Detroit. I have not seen any dyno numbers, but I know the guy whose shop it was dynoed at when it was tuned. He has a low reading Mustang dyno (who would have thought, right?) Supposedly it was right around 400hp to the wheels. Not bad for a stock LS1 with a small-ish turbo bolted to it.
I took it to the track once this year and traction was a much bigger issue than I thought. Best 60' was a 2.2 I believe. It spun the tires to about 330' and then you had to completely let off the gas, it would up shift, then you could get back in it. It still trapped 117 like that. I'd assume it would be another 1 - 2mph if you could stay in it. Also, this was at Lapeer on street tires. I'm sure Milan with slicks would have yielded much better results.

Bumpity bump. Soon enough it will be going away for the winter time up here in Michigan. One of you guys from the south should take this off my hands and let it know what a warm winter feels like.
