honestly, if you cant be happy with ~500-550whp, its a money pit and you should walk away unless youre willing to keep spending money on it. the best approach for our car is low boost (8-12psi), stock block, conservative tune from a good tuner(use e85 if you can). I say stock block because its proven to handle the hp/torque (despite what people claim are the limits) and its far less likely to have issues that built engines can have if not done properly.

Since you're already built, I would simply advise against turning up the boost too much and hope they're good at what they do despite the rear main seal. Find the best tuner you can, make sure they use knock ears when turning up the boost and keep it safe.
