Default Summer plans

guys tell me how this sound. please voice any opinions.
this summer im planning on selling my LS1 heads/cam, LG Longtubes and Vararam CAI. I plan on getting LS6 heads/cam, STS twin turbo system, hi perf. clutch, and BFG drag radials. im plan to run it at around 9-10psi and hopefully get my A/F in the mid/high 10s or low 11s on my 02 c5 6spd w/ stock bottom end.
how much power to the rear do you think i'll make?

ls6 cam is a waste of money and time with that set up you 'll prolly make around 500rwhp but you wont see boost till 5k.

The STS TT idea is something I'm looking at as well (when I can come up with the $ though) I just finsihed a lengthy conversation with TRT (STS dealer) and he told me that with the LS6 package, you really don't want to go beyond the base setting of 6 PSI. With the LS6 setup, they're putting down around 530rwhp...that's around 600 @ crank...anymore than that, you'll need a stronger bottom end if your planning on driving it for a while without problems. He also said that the LS6 cam is a good cam for this setup. 530rwhp is a ton of power on the street! Just a thought.
