Max stress of 2000 motor???

[setxviper]

I understand that the 96-99 gts have the forged pistons, and I have read that the stock motor can withstand around 750-850rwhp safely with moderate boost levels.
Question is, how much power does the 2000 gts motors withstand when boost is applied?

Thanks

If you search, you will find lots of discussion on this issue.

Risk versus reward can be applied. I have an '01 GTS. We'll use it for my example.

1) I want my engine to last 100K at least before a bottom end rebuild.

2) I have read many claim success doing mods like S/C and nitrous with the cast pistons. Success being 10K miles no problems.

3) 10K ain't good enough for my statistics notepad.

Anyone have some long term data or success stories?

BTW, after reading on this forum for quite a while, I crossed S/C off my list for my cast piston '01. Doesn't fit well with 1) above.
