That's kind of a general question LOL.

Are supercharging and/or nitrous ok?
Stock cam and heads or modified?
Built/forged bottom end or stock?

The simple answer is: anywhere from 600rwhp on up to 1200rwhp and from high 12s on down to high 8s depending on just how radical you want to go and just how much you want to spend.

I have seen 500 to 600hp on a ls2 with lots of engine work, also it depents on how much money you want to spends.

600-700 with a 427 or 440 stroker and heads and other goodies, maybe a little more

speed depends upon gearing---that's too wide open unless you want to give a gear ratio

I have a friend of mine with a 2001 C5 and put down 600 rwhp/550ft-lbs easily on all motor. It drives very well and will lift you out of the seat when goes WOT.
