Whipple supercharger takes a GT500 to within reach of 1000 HP!
Building on the potent GT-500 plant, there are many possible ways of creating more horsepower, from basic bolt ons, to upgraded superchargers, to oversized motors… This is a great article by MM&FF showing three different power stages that are possible for your GT-500:
Stage 1:
Stage 2:

 The 3.4L Whipple Supercharger crowns the power hungry 5.4L
 If this is what I think it is, you can see here a racer 'secret' modification. The four bolts in the center of the supercharger pulley break up the pulley into an inner sleeve and an outer ring, which allows for a quick change of supercharger gearing to change from low boost to high boost pulleys for race days, and then swap back easily back to a low boost pulley at the end of the race day. Very neat.
