If you search "boosted list" you should be able to find quite a few. For some reason the boosted list is not a sticky anymore but was in there with search. Not sure if there was a 2008 boosted list. It was great idea showing combos and in the later years requiring timeslips.

i just recently forged my bottom end but i made 650 whp before i chipped my #7 piston...Setup is twin .57mils Garretts, 72lb injectors,meth, walbro, and twin tial wastegates and bov's !!
i have been up to 650rwhp with a cam/springs only 6.0 truck motor. that was awhile ago and that motor ran a long time. t76 front mount, 3"dp, 4l80e locked and thru a tcase.
with proper tuning and fuel a stock 6.0 is good for 600+rwhp for a very long time. not sure of the actual limit since i was always out of turbo. we have 2 stock 6.0 projects going on right now, one with twin 61's and the other with a single pt88. we plan on turning it up a little at a time till it lets go. i expect to see 8's and 700+rwhp before we run into a problem but you just never know.

I guess we'll see if the 6.0l iron block can hold more than 1200hp. In the past years, my block has NOT been filled. BUT this year we are going to do a half filled to help with the strength.

i talked to kurt urban awhile back about diferent power levels. the one thing i remember him saying was around 1200hp they were starting to see signs of the block starting to flex. scuff marks between the block and the oil pan. stuff like that. at the time they sold a billet main cap girdle that tied the caps, block, pan.. all together. now it is just cheaper to step up to an lsx block.
my 6.0 block was .030 over. it had hundreds of runs at around 1000rwhp and lasted quite awhile. that was with 10sec pulls in a 5000lb truck. with block fill and a lighter car who knows how long it will last or what might give next.
how do you plan on keeping the heads down? doesn't that problem creep in about the same power level. i was under the impresion that to hold 1500hp you would need some special work to the heads and bock or these days step up to the lsx block with 6 bolts.
