Pretty cool, but I was just reading an article in Hot Rod talking about 1,000 hp LS engines. Basically stock bottom end 5.3L truck engines with twin turbos... getting 500 to 750 hp pretty easily and then pushed to 1,000 with nitrous... and living to do it again!

Me, I'd just settle for the stock 5.3 sitting on my dad's shop floor powering my van! :muhaha:

Nice find Gary.
You would be hard pressed to build a comparable engine for those prices. The shipping cost kind of sucks, for myself at least.
