There are no aftermarket blocks for the ecotec. So 1000rwhp stock block V6 ecotec.

I know there was someone who did a tubro alloytec way back when they first come out, he had a twin turbo ecotec and I think he was running 8's back then and then converted to an alloytec. I believe it was in a 2nd gen Commodore. I'll see if I can find it later.
It could probably make 1000HP, but if it can do it reliably is a different story...

I assume you want to daily drive it, so.......

800 hp wet shot of NOS, and let it eat

Then use a shovel and bucket to pickup the engine, transmission, hell, the whole drivetrain off the ground

Rhe only supporting mods you will need is a fire extinguisher and probably the ambos on speed dial

Then work out what you did wrong

Let’s say you have a spare $120k laying around.
You could go spend 2 years backpacking in Europe. Bang a bunch of hot German or French chicks (or dudes as your wants may be), do some adventurous things on some mountains, go to raves and have memories that you take with you for the rest of your life. Then come back and drop a deposit on a house.

Or build Australias first 1000Hp V6 VF Shopping Trolley and watch it do what is mentioned above by GingerBeer.

I know what I’d be doing.

I'm confused... O.P's profile says he drives a VY but his comment history shows he has a VZ... Then, he posts in the VF section asking about the LY7 engine, which finished production in 2009... So he has a VY, VZ and Australia's first VF LY7 that will reach 1000HP... School holidays again...

He has an unlicensed VY in the backyard with weeds around it.

His mate has a VZ with 3 hubcaps and a sports exhaust.

His mum has the VF. She said he could wash it.

Will your partner let you go to Europe on your own for 2 years and "meet" young women?
Mine wouldn't.
Looks like I'll have to waste the money on my Alloytec.

No mention of the Dragster with 20 inch rims.
