What's the weak point in my motor? LS1 block for turbo
Mahle forged pistons
Eagle H beams
Stock Crank
LS7 lifters
Hardened PRs
ARP Main and head studs
What is going to be the limit to how much power I can make?
And how much should this be able to support?

its good combo i think ,but just one thing....why the Ls7 lifters?? if your going to spend lots of mony go for more relible parts i wouldnt name a company you need to search but i think ls7 lifter is not relible on high boost application .
i think you can go aroung 700-800 hp with no problem of course with good set of heads and lower compression .

Honestly if this is for a Turbo motor, I would have like to see you use a different piston, Diamond, JE, Wiesco, etc because of type of forging material, and upgraded crank maybe?

Turbo
My engine builder recommended this piston for me.
I've heard a lot of good things about them, as well as people using them in higher horsepower builds. Why would boost make such a difference with these lifters as opposed to a super high lift cam? I have seen these used with some pretty large cams. I plan to run only an LS6 cam.
Let's keep this on topic please.
So what would fail in the event of a boost spike? A meth kit will go on eventually. Say it runs out on high boost, what do I have to worry about?
