Yup, it's Optic's shop.

I'm not going to steal anyone's thunder here but my Cartek twin turbo Z06 put down 1016 rwhp out of a 346 cid motor and I think we left some ponies on the table (makes no sense going further because traction is nonexistent). This is a twin turbo 427. A lot more cubes. My car ran a best e.t. of 9.87 and best trap of 147 mph on 14 lbs of boost.

The trick is not to turn out an 1100 hp car but to build a drivetrain that can withstand all that hp and tq. From my experience, it's very difficult. An 1100 hp "street" car is one thing. An 1100 hp race car is a different story.

And Cartek is a sponsoring vendor here.

P.S. I just looked at the dyno sheet. That car put down 938 rwhp. The Z1100 package implies 1100 hp at the flywheel, I think.
