I would imagine more than that out of a novi 2000...

You have to figure, if your not making atleast 450rwhp now somethings wrong. Add 10psi MINIMUM and meth injection? pssssssttt Awesome setup is what that is. Be careful with that stock block.

yeah thats what i was afraid of. and i would just pulley the charger to 10lbs or as close as possible. im really just using the meth so that way i can still safely run 93. since its already 10.1 my tuner said with a conservative tune and some good head gaskets i should be able to keep my heads on lol. i dont want less that 600 but i dont want to much more either b.c of the block

you may not even need 10 lbs to reach your goal, seems like a wild set up IMO

haah yeah thats the idea. 600 should be good enough to keep me occupied for a while. i just dont want to split the block. maybe they can just tone down the tune if 10lbs is to much? b.c it cant be to much over 600wheel because then i start jepordizing the block to much. but i guess its easier to take away horsepower then to make it right? i mean i only rev it to about 5800 which helps but i still want to play it as safe as i can.
