So you are shooting for 1000chp? What about something like a Borg Warner S480? They are pretty cheap and can make that power.

I know these gigantic turbos don't make 0 psi up until the boost on-set... but I feel like I would absolutely hate driving a car with a sub-2.5L engine that doesn't really boost until 5000+rpm.
Unless you are building something that just gives you dyno chart bragging rights, I feel like an engine that has a nice 3500 or 4000-9000 rpm power band and peaks at say 900hp would be much more fun and usable in 90% of situations than an engine that has a 5000 or 6000-11000rpm and peaks at 1000-1100hp. But that might just be me.

Power did drop off up there, but "no power up there" is a little bit of a stretch. Still far more than 10,000 rpm.
