Default How much power can an LS make with boost?

I got a LS block and im debating whether or not to forge the internals, or just buy new pistons/rings/rods and run 10psi, is it worth buying forged internals, w/out a sleeved block and no built head?........im looking for around 300-350 whp w/ a t3/t4 and 550s prolly let me know.............any suggestions?

so basically its not really worth it to forge the internals unless i build the head and get a block guard or sleeves? i can be runnin mid 13s at 10psi safe tune......?

Block guards are retarded - they dont do anything but mess **** up

You cannot say "run 13s at 10psi" because every turbo is different.... 10psi on a 15g is a hell of a lot different than 10psi on a gt40.

It seems to me that you have a LOT of reading to do.
Every single page on the thread I gave you is going to be helpful.
I suggest you take the time to read it rather than ask whats already given to you. No handouts.

It depends on not only the turbo, but also the tune. If your tune sucks, you're doing yourself in the butt.
