1st, I assume you mean bolt-on parts for this...probably 480-500.

2nd, Most stock engines can accept 7-8lbs of boost safely. At a stock 400hp, this translates into roughly 550hp-600hp.

3rd, 500-600, I'd imagine. But you're gonna shell out a lot of dough the higher your hp goal is going this route.

4th...virtually limitless. But the stock LS3 engine block is rated up to 1000hp, if my memory is correct. Any more than that and your engine is gonna explode.
wow, that is pretty impressive for basic bolt-ons. I like that. Thought built and FI would top a lil better than that, maybe it would, you would just be taking big chances at that point. I know the ecotec 2LN can make 1200 hp, I know we are beyond the point of streetable though. I am lookin at 600 to 650, and I am liking what you have said. Can't wait. I am going to have long breakin period but then it is getting modded. If I have learned anything you should know what you want and how to get there before you even start. Thanks for the information Dragoneye.
