I'd say 10 pounds of boost pretty safely, it should last a while. RWHP 650-680ish

this is good news. Sounds like this motor is much stronger than the ls6 I last had.

We have made 831rwhp on a cam only, twin turbo 2010 Camaro, with 15lbs of boost. Using 93 octane and methanol injection. Like others will tell you, I'm going to say that tune and fueling are crucial.

We literally have hundreds of LS2's and 3's that have left here over 700rwhp, some over 800. I think the highest was 83x.

It's amazing what these engines can make stock.

Run a fuel system over 625-650rwhp. I ran a bap at 672rwhp, but a full fuel system is the way to go, even with meth.
