Can I get a Chevy 454 to put out 1000 or more horsepower, maybe with a turbo or twin turbo, or could I do it with out a turbo if this is even possible. And if you know and would not mind taking the time to tell me what mods would I need to do to the engine to get that kind of power. What is the max horsepower I could get out of a 454? I plan on putting it in a 72 Chevy Custom Deluxe Truck. Thank you for your time and your help, Thanks Justin.

V8's get superchargers. yes you can get 1k horsepower but why? the only reason to have that much power is to drag race but you want that in a truck? your insurance will be very high as well

You'd probably need nitrous as well. Don't expect a long engine life.
