How to build 1000 hp LT1
A few years back, here in Jersey, a guy named George Baxter was making over 1K hp w/ a Vortech supercharged 383 LT1 in a 97 SS Camero ragtop.
The article below was when it had "only" around 750 HP:

Yes, twin externally mounted Aeromotives in the current configuration. I had reached the limit of the single intank/stock lines and regulator at about the 700rwhp level. That was through an M6, the above graph is with a TH400 and a high stall converter - so it represents at least 1,000hp if it were measured at the engine. Figuring 20% loss, it would be ~1,025hp.

It, along with George, ended up down here in Florida. He sold it to someone local about 5 years ago. Last I saw it (about 4 years ago), the new owner was trying to make it faster by swapping to a different cam and claiming all of George's victories with that car as his own. 
I was there at Bradenton and watched George get his first 9 second pass. I actually came really close to buying the car from George, but decided to build my own instead.

That car was out here in CA for a while too. The guy purchased the trailer and car.
