How much HP? 6.0L turbo

**Turbo K** · 02-19-2009, 06:01 PM

Im changing my 87 GN to a turbo SBC. Any Idea how much HP a 6.0 truck engine can make? Stock block,crank,and non L92 Heads. Im only changing rods,pistons,and cam to the good stuff. Any input will help. Thanks guys!

So the stock crank will live at that power? What about heads lifting under boost? Hearing this from people pushing the LSX block. 1000 HP is Max Im Hoping for. Hope u guys can help. Ive been wanting to do this for years! Done the V6 thing. Now I want the other 2 Cylinders GM shorted Me.

Id just do it,I am planing doing around the same thing some day in my monte,get some ARP head bolts,there are alot of ls motors out there running boost,hell im still using the GM tri metal head gaskets,no problems yet.
