LQ9 6.0 Best Upgrades to make 600hp? Currently have a Lq9 6.0 in my 93 Silverado. Motor is completely stock instead of being tuned out to the max. Was wondering what upgrades would be best to make 550-600 hp

See the Turbo section of the forum. Read. Tons of information in there. Lots of Youtube channels out there now showing you what to do.
But Huron Speed has turbo kits for the Trucks. As do several other companies. Grab a T4 turbo kit with a 7675 or similar turbo (or BW S475) with a wastegate and BOV, turbo cam and upgraded valvetrain components (springs, pushrods), 80lbs injectors and upgraded fuel pump, PTC, CircleD, or FTI Converter, and a tuner who can make it work. 700rwhp on 93 is easy to achieve with a basic fuel system. Anymore than that, and you need to invest more in the fuel system. Stock shortblock, I'd feel okay with to about 800rwhp, especially if you run ARP Head Studs, gap the rings, and run a boost-friendly MLS gasket like the LS9 or a Cometic MLX.
