If 1 pound made 650 hp, then it wouldn't matter. 8 is good because it is kinda low, so they should spool up fairly fast. Although they do take a bit of time to spool up, so a lighter turbine is in order, IMHO.

GM just released a concept car calllled the Tiger Shark, a 427 with some sort of forced induction (I can't remember if it was blown or turboed) thatt develops close to 750hp...too bad it wont be produced

It was supercharged. The 427 TT is a Lingenfelter creation.

He did, but now you can also get a 427 TT (did you really think good ol' John would be satisfied with just 650hp??)

its gonna be really hard for the 427 TT to get traction, since the normal TT already has problems hooking up.

I would assume so. So the 0-60 time would remain pretty much the same, and if you could pull off a wheel-spin free run, a 10 second quarter is quite possible. The really big benefactor is high-speed acceleration and top speed. It should push it over 250mph ( ), and make this car super-worthy.
