Default What to expect out of a setup

Been doing some home work for awhile and just when I think I have stuff figured out a read a few post to shows me I don't.
So I figured I'd ask

In the car now
346 Stock Bottom end
LS6 Heads ported
Decent size cam
Been told my compression is around 11.7 or so but I have some people telling me that can't be. So I have no clue what the hell it is.
Vig3200
3.42's in the rear.

Looking to do
Huron Speed T4 Single kit
T7575 Billet.
Fuel system to support 1000rwhp
Damn good meth kit to go with it.

I know all you guys would be getting me estimates. But I'm just curious what you guys think? What am I looking at power wise? Should I get a bigger turbo? Thanks in advance for the help.

You won't make more power than the turbo is capable of. Find out what its capable of supporting, you'll probably make a little less than that maxed out.

Im making big power on stock bottom with a cam upgrade. stock 241 heads and ls1 intake also. Info in sig. With a good tune you will max the turbo out and engine be ok. Just hope you have one of the few good ls1's like I have that seem to live to great punishment.

You said decent sized cam. That could make more than 100 HP of difference depending on specs. You want ballpark figures, we need ballpark specs.

I'm going to guess around 660whp at 15 lbs on that turbo depending on tune.

How hard do you want to push it? We have a few customers running that turbo through auto set-ups similar to yours making around the 750 mark.

Past owner of the car lost the cam card. I've been around the car for awhile. If I can recall I think it's a 22x 23x over 600 on the lift.

750-800 or so. Not trying to blow the motor, atleast not yet. At the end of the year I plan to let her eat and see how much she will take before she pops.
