302 LSX running E85, fed with twin TS EFR 9180 turbochargers. On pump gas, I'll have enough airflow at 8k rpm (which is where I'll set peak torque to hit at) for 1500 horse. E85 will be probably close to 2000, if I ever get brave enough to push the boost that high (35 PSI @ 8000 RPM).
I would hate you if you were slapping a Ford engine into a Chevy

Among gasser V8s, Chevrolets are my favorites, I like them even more than any Hemi. In spite of the OHV valvetrain being labeled as "outdated", they're better than many European, Japanese and even some recent Ford engines with SOHC or DOHC valvetrains.
