how much hp/boost can a built lt1 take?
INTIMID8 is pushin like 800+ on a twin turbo LT1 that runs 9's. If it's built right, i'd say it can support the same amount that an LS1 can. Expect to spend lotssss of $ though.

I've run up to 24 psi and pulled 146 mph in the quarter at full street weight using a production LT1 block converted to 4-bolt mains. With a half-fill, you can run Rick's numbers. I did have an overboost incident where I blew both head-gaskets but nothing else was hurt.

a strong 383 LT1 with ported trickflow heads and a good sized turbo would be very fun

how is the haft fill for the street? i heard not to bother will it.
I am running a half fill on my late model GMPP 4-bolt block and it is fine on the street. I'm running the Evans waterless coolant and Redline synthetic. Cooler coolant and warmer oil is good for HP.
Once I hook up the 2 stages of nitrous I expect to easily get into the 700's for rwhp, and the 800's for rwt.
ARP main and head studs. 6" rods, all forged, good balance job at 6200 and a Fluidampr all help make a smooth, strong and safe setup.

From what I've read you should be looing elsewhere for a block at the four digit rwhp range. As I recall, George baxter had started to see evidence of the block flexing at more than four digits. Nothing has been created to solve the problem as far as I know.
Many guys have said this kind of power is comletely and totally useless for a street car.

yes you can't launch on the street with that power,...but you can bring it on in 2,3,and four,and drive by the guy! plus on the street they are typically at the same disadvantage on the launch. my car, on a day when the roads are warm, will take everything my pt88's got and some no2! except in 1 gear and some times 2nd
