600+ RWHP from LS2
Greetings all, I am interested in attaining between 600 and 650 RWHP from my 2006 MN6. I am told by a company who does so that installing the proper supercharger with methanol injection and associated other upgrades (injectors/fuel pump) can provide that power level. This would be an increase of 250-300 RWHP over what I have right now (attained with cold air intake, headers and tune).
Questions:
1. Is this possible?
2. If possible, is it reliable (enough anyway)?
3. Will the stock LS2 bottom end handle this HP increase?
4. What other mods would be recommended to go along with this HP increase (clutch, driveline, suspension)?
My plan is to take the car to the dragstrip no more than 2-3 times/year as well as to HPDE's and autocrosses.
Please forgive me if this question has been asked/answered - I did not do a search because my computer is ponderously slow (I'm in Iraq) and I, frankly, had neither the time nor patience to wait for these downloads. Just downloading the CF main page took 5 minutes...
Thanks for any and all input!

I have a 600RWHP LS2.
Stock engine, stock heads, stock cam
Pump Gas
Daily Driver
No Meth
Supercharger + Headers is all it took. And yes, this has been answered a million times before. You should check the Forced Induction / Nitrous forum since that is the only way you'll get 600WHP from an LS2.

we have so many stock LS2's over 700rwhp at this point that I have lost count. We even have an auto at just under 800rwhp with our blower cam that has been lingering on the top of the C6 fast list for some time now. So far I have not been able to break any of them no matter how hard I try, but make no mistake, anything can happen at those levels and the customers have been very thoroughly warned of the possible problems. Perfect tuning is a must!

It took me 10PSI to hit my numbers so I am guessing you had/have a blower cam?
45K miles here, 9K on boost with ZERO issues, but I drive it SO HARD if it ever pops I'll try not to complain too much about it

I agree with EVERYTHING that's been said in this thread except the following: The weak link is NOT your bottom-end at this power level................
1. Yes
2. Yes
3. Yes
4. You'll need drag radials or sticky tires.
And a clutch eventually...

600 RWHP Am I on the Right Track?
Guys when you say blower cam do you mean a blower, then add a cam or is there such thing as a blower cam? I'm not a parts guy.
ALSO, give me your opinion on this as I just spent 7 grand for everything:
1. Vararam CAI
2. Melrose Headers
3. Magnaflow Exhaust
4. Dyno Tune #1 - Total RWHP 375 Total RWTQ 373
5. Then added heads, ported throttle body, heads, cam package all cryod
etc.
6. Road Test then Dyno Tune #2 - Total RWHP 413 Total RWTQ 405
Average HP 313 - Average TQ 371
It looks like I got mostly major TQ with this last mod but I was expecting a lot more on the HP side. If I want to achieve over 600 RWHP like the above,
1. if I added a supercharger would it get me there?
2. And what is your opinion on this mod, cool or a waste of money?
