Default LS-6 Block with a Turbo

What up everybody!!! I have a 99 SS Camaro with an LS-6 block with stock internals. I do have a stepped up cam with the rings and everything else to go with it. As of right now, I also have a TNT 150 hp shot of nos with the car. Recently, i've done a lot of research of the Turbo kits available for Camaros. Can anyone please explain to me how much horsepower, boost, etc. can a stock LS-6 block handle before the "danger zone". As of right now, my car dynoed 390 rwhp on the motor and 560 with the nos (rwhp). According to some other sources, my motor is good for the TNT shot. However, i'm looking forward to purchasing a Turbo kit that can bolt right up to my car and possibly give 650 rwhp. Thanks for the advice on whatever can be given!!!

i wouldnt go much over 550rwhp on a stock motor with a turbo kit just because the stock pistons/ringlands don't tend to last very long if the tuning isnt perfect. I have a turbo kit for sale that will do what you want and more. Message me for more info, thanks

With my heads and cam, and a procharger huffing out an indicated 7.5 psi my car made 615rwhp and 565 ft-lbs. Ran like a champ. Get bigger injectors, 60's, a good racetronix kit with hot wire will work for you, thats what I used on my vette to make that. Get yourslef a good tune...and you'll be good to go.

Testing the same block with turbos now myself.
