Stock bottomend HP rating? Looking to add more power to my LS6 engine. I already have upgraded heads cam and intake. Seriously debating bolting on a Procharger. Will the stock bottom end be able to handle 8psi or do I need to go forged before I add that kind of power?

But just remember once you get use to it again you will want to crank the boost up to make more power.
Will it hold, yes it should, but I'd build my bottom end up first so it could take anything I throw at it later

I am making 441rwhp now. By bolting on a procharger i should be something around 550-600 somewhere around there. I will be ok with stock internals as long as i dont try to go above 8psi?

OP I'd trust anything Predator-Z said over 99% of anyone else on here. with being said I don't know your heads/cam combo but if your cam has timing advance ground into it and the heads upped your compression ratio that could drastically effect how much boost it will hold. but much more knowledgeable people than me could help you know for sure. Just my $.02
.....even cooler haha
