It's kind of late but here's my .02cents worth...
I know what you mean. I went with a Whipple due to the simplicity. Regardless of what everyone says, all the plumbing is way more complex with a turbo unless you can buy it in a kit already made for your exact car.
Here's a shot of mine. I had to squeeze it into a Vette engine compartment so I was concerned about size and room. After doing my research, I bolted on a Whipple. No intercooler installed yet, but these are efficient enough I may never need one. I also went with EFI because I want to be able to tune the thing myself...I went with a small block because I'm concerned about the environment.
With a BB, 1,000hp should be pretty easy...
Without knowing *anything* about the EFI setup, the engine started in 5 seconds. We did a few dyno runs in a single day with no additional tuning - it's putting out over 750lb-ft at 3,300rpm. If I ever want more, I'll just swap to a smaller pulley. Right now, my next major project will be beefing up the rear to try and get more traction...
