Default Bottom end/internal safe?

  • Just hit 400 wheel on a dynocom dyno a few weeks ago. Everything went great!
  • Now im Installing on3 turbo kit with 70mm turbo and was wondering what kind of power id be making with a safe tune ... maybe only 5-6psi? (Stock bottom end. M6. Ls6 valve springs, hardened pushrods, 799 untouched heads and the small ls1 hotcam)
  • Im not a number guy when it comes to horsepower on a dyno but with just a little boost, can it be driven safely on the weekends with some fun? (Also doesnt get used at the track)

At 6psi you should be relatively safe. You'll be mid 500s which is okay for an LS1 with a good tune.
