So many variables...
LQ9 has 10.5:1 compression. That will limit your "safe" levels. I'd say 500-550rwhp could be safe with the proper cam and tune on 93 octane. If you add meth injection, then more boost and timing could get you more.

i already have the patriot dual gold extremes. and i was already planning on pushrods. did you ever run the stock cam? how much power has some one made with a stock lq9 or lq4 with only valve springs, and rod bolts?
