newbie to boost 80mm turbo going to be installing a Huron speed turbo kit with a Turbonetics 80mm. its going in a 2000 Camaro. Has a 383 putting down 496 RWHP N/A currently at about 10.4 CR. my question is how much boost will it handle and about what HP/TQ rating would I see. Lunati crank and rods and completely studded. thanks in advance.
I would NOT be using a ported FAST intake with boost, unless you want to run the risk of destroying it. They tend to break with boost.
As far as your #, there are a lot of variables. Are you just chasing a #? With 10.4 cr, I would defiantly spray some meth with the boost, back the timing way back, and if it were mine, I would keep the boost under ~12 or so. JMHO.

A friend of mines setup was
01 z06 SBE LS6 (ls1) ~ 10.9-1 compression PRC heads that flowed well/90mm fast
229/229 .615/.615 114+3 made around 550 tire on 94 octane/ 7lbs with low timing around 12 degrees if I remember correctly.
Still on pump gas it was 7lbs/ around 20 degrees he went 10.3X banging gears. That timing on 94 Octane eventually hurt the motor mind you.
Same car forged 383 (ls1 based) made 950 to the tire. Lower compression of course. No idea what fuel or timing. But if I was in your situation I would grab a set of heads that brought me down around the 9.5-1 mark and go to town.
