Default Almost Time

Those of yall that's been reading about 3 to 4 months ago, I was conversating with yall about turbo kits. Well, after careful consideration, I got with Josh at Kentucky Turbo and my kit will be arriving next week. Since my car's already setup (suspension, 12 bolt, etc), the rest of the goodies should put the car over the 600rwhp mark (EPP Forced induction cam, street and dyno tune, front mounted 76mm turbo, etc). I'm now looking for some feedback on how long do yall think a stock internal LS-6 (bottom end) may last with an on-point tuning job. Also, what kind of fun are yall having with yall's cars with this similar setup.

The tune is every thing. Let your tuner give you a good mild tune and keep every thing on the safe side and the LS6 should last you for some time. Also dont forget above valve springs with the cam.
