"Safely/reliably" wow. You can throw a dump truck load of money and expertise at it and a thousand RWHP isn't reality safely/reliably. What about the rest of the car? You need another dump truck load of benjamins for everything behind the motor. Fun to talk about and spend someone else's money though

Not picking on you, or anybody else for that matter. 1000rwhp sometimes gets thrown around like it's easily/safely/reliably done. It's not. Takes a big commitment and a carefully mapped out plan. It's not a street car anymore if the "safely" part of it is even remotely considered. Roll cage, fire supression system, etc. I admire those that do it right. Most, me included, can have a whole lot of fun at rwhp numbers way less than that.

It took me 6 months, on a plan that was to take 3, and I'm not sure ill ever see 4 digits on the dyno. Because to control 1000whp on the track I'll be running a turbo 400, drivetrain loss much? I agree with Motorhead here, the engine is just the beginning of the project.

There is no least expensive/reliable route to 1000rwhp! At least in my experience there isn't. YMMV

There are numerous engine builders which can handle this task. You're going to need a LSX with 6 bolt heads (inherent reliability). However, my advise based on your post. I would have a solid LSX shortblock installed and push that to a manageable level. See how like it at that power level. You can always upgrade components at you're own pace if you have that solid shortblock foundation. If you still want more power, you have a foundation installed that will do the job . I will remind you of one thing. The words least expensive and 1000 WHP don't usually work well together.

Actually the 700 to 800 range is still expensive but you don't have to anything exotic to get there. Stroker blower cam and some work to the drive train will usually land in the 700 to 800. For 800 you'll probably need to push things a bit. I think 900 is going to take something exotic. Twin turbos.

If you have a good solid, consistent combination . You can handle most 1000cc bike (riders) with a lot less than 1000 WHP. A 700 WHP car is really good driving street car and 600 isn't too bad either. I'm not sure what your power level is but I wouldn't recomend jumping in head first unless you're extremely committed to your goals. Have fun with it and get a solid short block that you can beat on with some durability. You'll probably be happier in the long run with way less than 1000 whp
