Think the stock bottom end can handle this turbo? I don't plan to spin past 6400

You are out of camshaft way before 6400 anyway, stick to the stockish rpm's to keep you in the power band. Would be pointless to go that high if it can't flow good there.

Stock bottom end should hold 500hp just fine.

I don't see it being anywhere near that with a stock cam.

Maybe 450-500 is a better ball park. Doing a cam upgrade will open up way more horsepower.

You're pretty good at providing info so I assumed it's all stock based on your posts.

Just be aware that your long block does not have the better connecting rods so you'll want to be careful on your horsepower goals.

Still expect are around a 450-500 to the tire with a good tune, going alot higher could get into the danger zone. And at that power level it's going to destory the tires on the street anyway at lower speeds. It should be plenty fun still.
