Well, actually it's pretty straightforward to produce 500+ hp out of an LS1 block using "Stage 3" heads and cam plus other bolt-on parts. GM High Tech Performance upgraded an LS1 engine and achieved 550 hp--measured on a bench dyno--with this project: http://www.gmhightechperformance.com...ech/index.html.
The prices for GM performance parts are just silly cheap, too: $1799 for Stage 3 heads and $399 for a Stage 3 cam from Livernois Motorsports, for example.
FWIW....

The GTO is experienced at drag racing as he posted his times. My guess is the SL wasn't and had the ESP on which will slow the car significally when wheel spin is detected and the SL had no chance. Better driver with about the same power in a lighter car. Results believeable.

Or a Tuned SL600/65 they both run 124-125 traps, he must've ran the slowest R230 AMG out right now the SL63 as others have noted, their Crank Torque is 465 @ RWTO = 380 while weighing 4300 odd lbs, this kill will easily go to the GOAT...
