Default Horse Power for 2013 V6

I can't seem to find this info anywhere! I want to buy a Turbo but need to know how much the 2013 V6 can handle. How do I find out? Not even the companies selling turbos are willing to help with this. They just refer me to forums to research so here I am. HELP!!! Please

1st question is most important to me but I also have another. Found out the hard way yesterday the car quits at 115MPH. Any way around this?

I'm gussing you're asking how much rwhp it can handle before things start to go wrong stock.. i'm not too knowledgeable on that however I have seen that information on SS cars.. that's disappointing as i'd like to believe they would give you that information to try to get the sale..

with the car quitting at 115MPH that is incorrect as I've pushed a 2013 2LT well beyond that.. one thing I have read about the v6 and high speeds is that certain tires are spec'd with certain safe speeds.. I have heard something about the RS package wheels/tires on the v6 (p-zero) being more able at higher speeds.. also heard something about limitations placed on speeds depending on stock tires.. this was from forums as well so i cant say for sure about anything besides pushing the car over 115.

ways around it would be a tune.. but that doesn't sit well with warranty.. in case that's a concern

first question would be, do you want to be on pump gas or race gas?

from the quick research I did using google, it seems to be about 440-500whp before you start to have issues, search around, you'll find what you're looking for.
