Was thinking about a Supercharger...
Now I am thinking about this...
Just about the same as a 2011 5.0 in terms of power but not having to worry about boost.
(At least I am hoping it will accomplish this and I will find out after more help in research)

We're 90% finished with the new build and changed so much. It all depends if car performs to expectations. We're thinking mid 9s for sure and maybe as fast as 9.2s. If that happens, we're talking about dropping a 5.4L in there with a much much larger single turbo. We've dropped 300 lbs with new build and planning for another 300lbs on the next.
Major changes with present build in progress from last build
rebuilt 302 stroker stronger (went booooom at high boost)
stage II heads and cams to stage III heads and Comp III SPR turbo cams
triple fuel pumps + megadriver to fuel cell
4r70w 3 speed auto+ transbrake to 2 speed GM powerglide + transbrake
stock intake manifold to JPC racing intake manifold
60 lb injectors to 80 lb injectors
changing methanol mixture from 100% to 50% or less
change torque converter from 3200 stall to 4000.
Body changes with new build
redfire changed to red/black twotone
antennae deleted
GT side fender emblems deleted
rear center brake light deleted

Since you guys only care about power, once I button up exterior, interior, and suspension, I'm ripping the drivetrain out in lieu of my attempt at 1000rwhp:
Pro Line Longblock
Custom Comp Cams
Direct Drive 6-Spd
Two GT35Rs
and probably Nitrous as well seeing as I get it for free

Which requires merely power.
Since you don't seem to have a clue about the difference between rwhp and ET goals, read on. Do you have any pics of your build? Sounds very exciting and just a tad imaginary. Generally folk interested in such a high horsepower build have some idea about power and putting the power to the ground. You seem to have no idea at all.
You can build up the motor, fuel and other parts and get a nice pretty dynosheet reading 600, 800, or in your case 1000 rwhp...and never track the car
My goal is low 9s and with the least amount of horses as possible. Certainly the laws of physics dictate how much power is needed to push this brick down the 1/4, but a major focus on this build is weight reduction, redistribution, and traction. Whatever power my car makes is useless if the car cannot launch as needed. You don't need to pay any attention to such things, since your goal is an rwhp number.

why does everything have to revolve around track time slips? nothing personal against you steve...it's just a common theme I run into everywhere.
I mod my cars for the fun factor. not for a time slip #. I don't race my cars, nor have I ever. I think I've done maybe 80-90 on this current one once...and i can count on 1 hand the # of times I've gone past 100 mph in the past 15 years.
for me, the higher HP #'s are just for fun. I'll never have the fastest car around. somebody will always have something that can whoop my *** no matter what I do. So I make sure I've got enough for everyday driving and call it good.
