Default LQ9/LQ4 Forged Motor Strength

How strong and reliable are the LQ9 6.0 Iron Block motor and are they worth using for a N/A setup. I searched and couldn't find much, how much HP can a forged 6.0 take, Thanks

Some internals,

Scat Scat 4340 LS1 4.000 crank 24 tooth reluctor
Scat 4340 LS1 I-Beam 6.125 Part # 2-ICR6125-7/16
Wiseco K464F3 LS1 3cc Pistons 4.030 Bore

I am just debating be the LQ4/LQ9 and LS2

Any help is welcomed

The iron or aluminum block can handle all the power you can make NA with no problem. These engine blocks will surprise you with what they will handle in basic stock form.
