Default LSX376 Power Potential...

What do you guys think the true power potential of the new LSX376 GM crate engine would be with a supercharger, nitrous, etc... Just estimates. I know there are many many different factors involved in trying to estimate the power potential of an engine, but I just wanted to get a ballpark figure. Thanks guys!

How much boost would you be able to run with the LSX376 though since the compression ratio is 10.7:1? What would you guys recommend with this engine a blower or nitrous?

The reason I ask the question about this particular crate engine from GM is that it is the standard deck LSX bowtie block which of course you would run it in its "stock" configuration of 376ci which would of course make more than enough power, but at some point in the future I would be able to tear the engine apart down to the bare block and have it bored out if I wanted to increase the cubic inches. Does that make sense to you guys? Buy this one and it has the room to grow if need be down the road. Just me trying to think ahead.
