stock LS1 potential boosted power??
Ok well im looking into buying another car in early spring after my current car is paid off. Im gonna either pick up a 98-02 WS6 or a camaro SS. Now, my plans are to turbo it, like i did to my 3.8. I will be fabbing up most the turbo kit. How well would a T72 work on a LS1 as a daily driver? About how much HP can a stock LS1 handle after good tuning and all fuel upgrades etc....My goal would be to have a 500hp daily driver...and also, which would handle the power better in stock form? A 6 spd or a A4?
Im pushing 15psi on my 100% stock 3.8 motor with my T72....can a LS1 handle the same power in stock form?

I'm pretty sure 8 pounds is the ruel of thumb most people use when it comes to a stock block.
A4 would be easier on the rearend...unless you plan to upgrade, in which case, don't worry about it.

The kid in the C5 backed down when he found out how "fast" my car actually was....and so did his buddy in a camaro SS and a New stock C6.
I wouldnt be going with a STS...it would no doubt be a front mount setup that i will fabricate myself....
Would you guys say depending on the tune I could get away with 10psi??
