I figured the Whipple goes just north of 1000HP so the pistons need to be able to hold that too. My preference is to add parts just once but I'll probably have to compromise with the fuel system right now. I'm hoping more options will be out in the future. Then you have the other issue of adding a lot more power then breaking the supporting systems like shafts, clutch, etc.
Maybe a SC/NOS combo

As long as you don’t have sticky tires and don’t beat the clutch you should be okay. I’m close to 930 at the crank and the tires can’t handle it at all. Had a spark plug wire fry but that was because the shield was on the header simple fix. Will need to find green belt if you up the power as well. If you want rods and pistons look at CMS they have drop in ones will save you a lot of cash. If your looking at 850-900 to the tire just so pistons. But then you will need a new clutch probably a triple one. Drive shaft and half shafts. I was told if I drop 1 pulley size I’m good with lt4 fueling if I got 2 or more auxiliary fuel system needed. Lots to consider. The clutch to auxiliary fuel stuff will be 10k additional. Saving my pennies for the last phase. But gives you an idea what extra costs you will have if you move past 800whp
