If you consider nitrous or a blower bolt ons, then you could say a gt500 has made well over 1,000hp with bolt ons. In fact, a ford gt with the "same" 5.4 has made over 1,400 RWHP with a stock short block other than some pins and itmade over 1,100 rwhp with a TOTALLY stock longblock. That's neither here nor there. GM and Ford have to make this power reliably enough to warranty. The current LSA and LS3 are not stout enough to offer over 700hp under warranty. It's just too risky. It would however be very simple to equip either with the proper rotating assembly to do so.
