Boosted LY6/LQ9/LQ4?
Ok question, I will slowly be building an LY6 for a big turbo setup on my 2013 Camaro ss, Didn't want to post on a 5th gen forum because they all thought I was crazy about doing a boosted 4.8/5.3L and most are all into flashy wheels anyways my plan was to just drop in a stock bottom end LY6 with a T88 on it of course with supporting fuel system etc..... I have been looking at Foose4.8's setup but would an LY6 be the way or go for an LQ9/LQ4? Goals? Well 800ish untill I do a TH400 or 4L80E then maybe in the 4 digit numbers. Throw me some ideas my way 
I tried to quit the Boost game but I just can't give it up......

i would do a 6.0 they do take alot of beating, im running an LY6 on my turbo truck that smokeshow is not done with yet 
he has boosted it up till about 17psi the only problem we experienced recently was the oil pump, we replaced that and have oil pressure again. Its a stout engine and lighter than the iron block, not sure if your concerned about weight lol

Stock bottom end LQ4 on Pump gas with a S480 (race cast) 
You can get in the 4 digits on E85 with that setup with a very precise tune and a nice fuel system setup. I would do a 80e for street use even though lots of guys run TH400s on the street with no issues. Those Borg Warner turbos have proved great power over some of the top brand snails at a good a$$ price. I would recommend for you to get a custom grind cam from Martin @ Tick Performance for that setup on your SS. He has nice cams.
