For this particular situation lets just say street friendly means basically reliable: Which is going to generate the least heat? Most highway friendly? Gas friendly  ? least maintenance? opinions on the centrifugal cog setup? any ac complications? i have blown ls cars that arent far from it so I know some about what I'm getting into. Its pretty much already been decided, just wanted some feedback.
I think NRE and guys like that would probably be shaking their heads and chuckling at YOU. It seems, in my opinion, the words 'street friendly' and '1000hp' are closer than ever. But thats what forums are for, to either answer someone with constructive advice, or stand up and be counted by your opinion about the question  Lingenfelter put out a crate 427 tt that made 1000hp half a decade or so ago.

No, I get what you're saying. My point was more that this hobby has progressed to the point where there is such a thing, well almost

, as street friendly 1000 hp. I'm old enough to know there were days when there wasn't such a thing. Kinda like 16+ MPG 500+ HP production cars, you know?
Good luck with the project! And like I said, not picking on you.
