So your experience is completely irrelevant to this thread, gotcha.

I have a stock bottom end LS1 w/ 97K miles on it and by my sig you should get an idea, i am also about to do the 150 shot. I had a friend who had a WS6 with 113K miles T76/e85 set up and he was pushing 615/690 with a completely stock bottom end. It all comes down to tuning and set up period. The WS6 was a DD. Now will every single bottom end LS1 hold 600 hp no as a matter of fact i don't advise it, but the ability is there. Crank can hold 1k+ hp and the block is also rated to 1K hp ur weak links are the pistons and rods.
