There was an article in MM & FF about a mustang with twin turbos and NOS.
Nothing says excess like a stroked-out Three-Valve sporting a set of twins. The twin-turbo monster utilizes a D.S.S. engine to crank out 1,243 rwhp. The stars of the show are a pair of 67mm turbos courtesy of Turbo Horsepower. The hairdryers conspire to stuff 25 pounds of boost into the stroked 302 mod mill. As if that wasn't enough, this monster takes a few hits of the jug as well.

Ok. I had a fully built block, heads, fasteners, studded, aggressive cams, upgraded cobra valve springs, low CR pistons, polished crank, everything except rods as the rods I found stretch over time. Car was making 535rwhp and 600ft lbs of Tq. It was running consistent low 11's and touched a 10.9. This was on 17lbs of boost and a 75shot.
I eventually threw a rod through the bottom of the block gunning for mid 10's. I looked into building it again, but the custom rods I wanted were $3k, so I dropped a F150 motor in it.
The 4.0 is a strong motor, cast iron block, can handle boost and go go 12's and high 11's with a safe tune. For 1000 rwhp, I think the issue will be strength of the block and cylinder pressure. Its a motor that has evolved over several decades in various cylinder configurations. If you ever saw one cracked open, it is a block of swiss cheese, and as described early on back in 2005, has more chains than a Mr. T starter set.
If you put strong enough internals, run race fuel on top of maybe an e85 conversion, I don't know, maybe it could see 700 to the wheels. It's all speculation.
Just know this, you are going to need a LOT of money.
