However, with relatively minor mods, that motor can easily handle probably 600-700 WHP without issues and without going all forged.

Rod bolts, fuel pump, injectors/tune/fuel rail, LS2 intake manifold (or bigger probably), cam/valve springs/pushrods, and a good boosted setup would do him fine. That, or ridiculous spray, but I never was a huge fan of spray in the end.
I agree that spray isn't the best way to go. I just could not imagine 1011hp in ANY vehicle.

600-700 on a stock block is what makes these motors, wether it be the lsx or lqx, so sought after. They are fairly light and can handle a lot of power, and not to mention fairly cheap.
