Unfortunately much of the aftermarket engine support is reletively "low-tech". And finding solid information in magazines like "Hot Rod" on building a maximum effort turbocharged Chevy engine is a pipe dream, as they are still in the retro dark ages.

Uh I would have to disagree with you there, I have seen a stock block stock internal 2jz gte push just over 1000hp just cramming more air and more fuel into it. You will never find any chevy small block that can make that claim. If you were talking about any other import engine I would have to agree with you but not the toyota Supras engine. The modern chevy small blocks are not even realisticaly capable of withstanding that kind of boost, even if you bore and sleave them you are pushing it, I have not seen one do it yet. Anyway comparing modern engine to modern engine you would be spending much more to make the chevy small block reach 1000hp. I usualy don't side for the ricer engine but in this case I have to. BTW the fastest street legal car in America is a Toyota Supra (8.5 sec 1/4 mile) so don't be too quick to bash them. There is a new up and coming 1000hp monster in the near future the new 4g63s. with alot of the stock conponents intact I have seen one pull 740 wheel hp that is just shy of 900hp at the flywheel. It has run into the high 9s. It has over 22k miles on it, it is in the new Jan Turbo magazine. I would love to see a small block chevy beat that, but I am not going to hold my breath. (Side note) The Ls1 motor is one of my fav of all time because without any forced induction on a street legel cam in pure stock trim it can push over 300hp, with just a bolt on supercharger it can exede 500hp (all I would ever want on the street anyway), and it weighs less than some inline 4 bangers, so in that regard the ls1 is just as much a piece of automotive artwork as the 2jz, but it just does not have the strength to handle massive boost. If the supra was avalable with a toyota verson of the LS1 I would personaly take it over the 2jz (who needs 1000hp anyway).
