I am. My car is all stock, besides tuning, 57# injectiors, hot and cold side, and meth injection. The valve covers have never been off. No weight reduction, with a system to make it a good driver. I put the kit on it at 115k and it now is at 128k. I run a lot of boost, usually 20+ to make good power, but the thing is sick for a v6 car and dead reliable, except for the drivetrain. I have broken the 2 piece drive shaft, a rear, and trans in the past 2 years. I have never dynoed it but should be around 400whp I would guess. The only other things I have done is the rear suspension and drag radials.
The car has gone a best of 11.6 @119 mph with a 1.6 60', with more left in it ET, wise. As for power it's pretty much maxed out because of the smallish turbine.
Check out my fquick, it has all of my specs, with vids. www.fquick.com/1SICK6

You're running 20psi on the stock L36 bottom end? That must take some juevos... I just got my MAF translator somewhat tuned for now. The most I run right now is about 15psi at around 19.5* of timing. I'd imagine it's in the 400-450hp range easily. I'm afraid to turn it up much more (L67 block out of a GTP not the stock L36). Not to mention my 42.5lb injectors are being run up into the 110% duty range.

www.fullthrottlev6.com had plenty of turboed v6, Camarokid had one before he got an ls1
I had a Turbonetics T72 camaro. I built the whole kit myself. Forward flowing headers, etc...I was running on average between 15-17psi on the T72 on a bone stock motor for over 1.5 years...Only got rid of it because I was tired with keeping up with maintenance and I had a coupler rip and it over spun my turbo and broke it....I do miss the feeling of boost tho....
maybe you have seen a pic of my car somewhere??

Yea I'm kinda in a pinch. I need to sell this car because I keep dumping money into it, but I'd really like to upgrade injectors just to see what kind of power she can put down. Right now I'm maxing the hell out of my 42.5lbers at around 15psi....
