With the Whipple, you mention 700-750 RWHP...I'd think with a Cam/Heads/E85 and a 2.9L Whipple you'd be very much north of 800-850 RWHP right?

The ProCharger has been going on the LT4 for a while now and I've seen Vengeance do it quite a few times, seems like a great setup and personally I'd go for that.

Though for me, a VR Stage 3 on the stock 1.7L is all I'll need.
