how do you feel as far as reliability with the stock engine and that much power? from reading on ls1 tech people say its around 550 is the iffy mark. i have mine at 485 @ 8psi with a similar setup and a t76 (no meth though just 93 oct). my tuner wanted to keep going but i told him to stop there so i wouldnt have to replace the engine :P

It all depends on the setup. With a cam and meth i usually put ls1/ls6's between 600-650rwhp (t56) which is normally around 12psi.
