Not that I'm any expert...but I expect this engine could take 'normal' (5-7psi) boost like other 'normal' engines without any significant risk. And at that level...tuned for premium, obviously, 400hp should be reachable.
We can't forget about potency either. I mean, the thing gained 31rwhp from an intake and exhaust. No headers or tune either. A first for the V6 Camaro.
