I have a buddy with a 2003 Chevy Impala that has a Supercharged 3800 short block (L67) with a N/A intake on it and a 62mm Turbonetics turbo. It runs mid 11's in the 1/4 mile and is daily driven. It was just dynoed at nearly 500whp and that's on the STOCK short block.

----!!!! guys.... i just hit boost for the first time.... 8psi *PSSSST* *POP* then turbo spools but no power
blew a hose... but holy ---- i was laying down some stupid power id say close to 220rwhp on a 1 bar map sensor and not tuned, it runs really good can drive it easily without hitting boost, i like the way it drives and i cant wait till its running properly, but it was a success, we boosted past my mate, then *pop* came back with a bumper hanging off as i mis judged the kerb when i turned around.. but yeah hit 8psi so far and its laying down STUPID POWER
