i have been debating this engine for a while. i know its cast iron wich is stronger right there.
my ?'s are:

its a 5.3 block bored to a 5.7. it has stock rods and stock crank with mahle fordged pistons. how much stronger would this motor be for my build, over my stock bottom end 23 k ls1

i will be puttin PRC stage 1 ls6 heads that have not been milled with a 224 cam and a turbo.
i have been told that i can get away with 7 PSI for a while with an intercooler and no meth injection.




would this be a better option than my stock motor for my build? i would like to get as much power out of it with out be tooo too dangerouse..... i know it will be, but not to dangerous

here is the link to the thread thanks guys.

say NO to the Mahle off the shelf pistons. You want wiseco,diamond, je for boost. They are made with a stronger material for when you DO detonate it a little along the way.
