Default Blown C6 question

There is a guy here in town w/ a procharged C6 that says he's making 740rw on stock internals and drivetrain and his gonna smack my SS all over town. Anyway, I dunno much bout the LS2 internals but can it take that much power???? He wont tell me what kinda procharger kit or what psi he's running. He's kinda of a cocky *****. He's had it in for me ever since i took out his bolt-on 00TA w/ my SS when it was bolt-on only.

Thats what i was thinking too, put some good gas in it, and put 17lbs to it. That is assuming you can even get that to hook where your gonna race

10.9:1 CR and pump gas I would strongly doubt it on stock internals. Even on race fuel I have hard time believing it. I heard 540 RWHP at @ 7 PSI.

from what i was told he wants to run on the street on street legal tires either from a dig or a 5-10mph roll and he'll tell me how much boost he's running then and that i need to run the same amount to make it "fair". Guess my MT DRs are legal enough. In reality id guess he's prolly only running 8-10psi max if he's stock internals. I'll be lookin for him tonight since my SS is my only car working right now anyway
