Now you got me wondering what's up. Is that number way out of line with the equipment I'm running?

I think a 1000rwhp is sweet brother.....and maybe I'm getting old.....because 100mph is just about enough for me too.....Right now you are at the power level I was most happy with on the street (take it for what it's worth of course)....plenty fast, surprised alot of people, and the power went to the ground most times......I also unsderstand everyones tolerance levels are different and in that vane I'd say collect everyones input, explore all avenues, do a cost vs. benefit analysis and when your research is done the best piece of advice I have to give is this:
think your goals/desires/money all the way through, cause and effect type stuff, come up with an all inclusive plan.....and now the hardest part(lol).....stick to your plan!
Good luck brother and I look forward to your build!

The biggest part of my desire for more is that I'm just bored with having the way it is and want a change.
One change that needs to be done is the rear end so it there a different housing I need to consider? What should I go to? What's stronger and a relatively easy change. I'd druther not tub it.

After reading what you are looking for..And looking at your current mods in your sig, this is my recomendation to quench your power thirst and use what you already have..Buy a forged 370 ci short block (which will work good with your current heads) and then slap a TVS2300 kit on there and turn up the boost. Just in case that is not enough power install a 100 shot of N2O on a progressive controller (for traction) and let her rip
You alrerady have a 4l80e and nice heads...Last I would get a PatG speced cam and change back to 3.90/4.10 gears and maybe a tighter 2600 convereter..because the power will be instant (which you like)...All that should get you (without the 100 shot) 150-200 more HP than you make now
I am all about "stoplight to stoplight" as well..I could care less about going 100+ mph

What's your opinion on price. Can I get a forged 370 and a TVS2300 and a 100 shot for the ball park price of $10k to $12k?
Now.. there's a C5 in the Feb issue of GMHTP that has a LQ9 bored and stroked to 427. Would my heads still work?
I don't know who PatG is.

You can swap in a 14 bolt out of a VortechMax, VHO, or later SilvySS...it's basically a direct swap. They have drum brakes I believe, but you can swap your disc stuff over, may have to modify or replace the backing plates. If you go to the GM Drivetrain and Suspension section and search "14 bolt" or "14 bolt swap", you should find a write up or two that guys have put together.

check this one out 415 ci http://www.schwankeshortblocks.com/s...?i=1497&c=1086
I dont like sleeved blocks for street applications, so my vote would be no on a 427ci out of a lq9...alot of better choices..for your heads a 4" to 4.060 would be ideal imo..Actually alot of current high hp record breakers are using a 3.90 stroke crankshaft
Google "EPS cams" for Patrick Guerrero..he is also on ls1tech
