Default 5.3's making big power step in. WHATS YOUR SETUP??

Here's my issue. I have a friend wanting to trade me a lm7 complete +400 dollars for my long block lq4 which has no intake. My next engine will be a forged bottom, maybe nice heads, cam, intake, studs, the works. But since that is a little ways off I figured I could do this trade and put that toward the forged bottom end of the 5.3. The issue is I'm on stock bottom now making 755 on pump gas and methanol and I want to remain on these fuels so the car can be a practical street car. The turbo will be upgraded for the future setup but just curious.

What are you guys making on a stout 5.3 with a ton of boost on pump gas and methanol. What's the horsepower cap for these cubes and these fuels.

Thanks in advance.

No e85 stations around here or I'd be running it. May go to twin 15gph meth nozzles. On twin 10s now.

What's your turbo? Boost? Heads? Intake?
