A couple of things. First the 6L's can only be used behind LS engines and ECM's at this time. Emulators are in the works for use with old school apps, but talk is cheap. :-)

As for power, the A6 ZL1 Camaro has 580 HP flywheel with limited traction, and there are a few sharp racers running 700+HP with traction. With the 6L, the tune is as important as the hard parts. Don't add power unless you are working with a tuner who understands 6L's.

As you can see, this particular car is all about drag racing -- including spray and sticky tires. The plan here is to incrementally add power and work the 6L tune along the way.

It's a real world validation project. If it works here, the knowledge can be easily applied to a pro-touring car with short sidewall, limited traction tires.
