Well guys, it is alot mroe complicated than just throwing a number out there for you. Tune? Proper machine work? Quality bottom end parts, etc...
That being said, we will assume all teh work has been done by a reputable engine builder, and he used quality parts and the tune was spot on, most will tell you that the 6.0 block can live at @ 1200 HP. But there are so many variables, and while the 6.0 has been pushed past 1200HP and lived, there have been blocks that have blown up at less than that as well. But you could say that it will live at 900-1000 HP all day long without breaking a sweat.
