Default Can these parts handle 600hp

Came across a shortblock in my area with eagle i beam rods and the stock crank. The pistons are forged but stock compression. I was hoping I could just change the pistons for low compression. The shortblock is a lt1 2 bolt main. I wanted to run 12-15psi of boost MAX or till 600rwhp. Should be around 550-600rwhp. Just wondering if those eagle i beam rods and the stock crank would be good to handle those cause I heard to go with the h beam rods and a forged crank

The ls1 cranks are very strong not as sure about the lt1 but pretty sure local guy is running ati p1sc to those power levels with stock lt1 crank. forged pistons and think stock rods. Maybe phone eagle and check with them on the rods and see what they say.

The eagle rods are pretty good so they should be able to handle that power, just make sure to get some good boost pistons (diamond, mahle, wiseco, etc) and some good rod bolts and you should be all set.
