Well sure ,,,,,,,,,I've seen You-Tube vids of Silvers with 5.3L boosting 24lbs. dyno-ing 2000hp but how many times can You do that ,,,,,,,not too many ,,,,,,,gets a little spendy after a while oh but to answer the op's question ,,,,,,depends on how many rpm's it will see regularly ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,if kept under 6500 ,,,,probably 800-900rwhp safely ,,,,,,,,,,,if pushed to 7200 or more fairly regularly then I would only go 650rwhp .

Their are to many factors to give a number but say anywhere from 400rwhp with a bad tunner to 1200rwhp ish with a good tuner in a light car. Not every stock block is as good as the next one might run at 850rwhp for years the next may die at 500rwhp, it just life.
