A guy in Florida (Manny) made just over 800 rwhp with a 1.9L blower, 388 RHS block and MAST large bore LS3 heads on e85 in a CTS V.
There's also a CTS V wagon in California with a 3.3 lysholm supercharger that made just 803 rwhp with stock cube LSA block with forged internals and trick flow heads. I believe he was on e85 as well.
There's a number of people well into the 900+ rwhp realm with stock LSA block and forged internals with nitrous and at least one with a SBE LSA in the CTS V world.
There are a few 1200-1400 turbo builds but they no longer resemble an LSA.

800 rwhp range with SBE LSA and a little nitrous is not uncommon.

Here's Manny's caddy running in a little Street Quick 16 last Friday night. He had a Whipple on there for a while but he's back to the stock blower and spray. The Final is at :41.
