Default Good and bad about the 6.0

Hi im starting to build a 6.0 out of a truck. Im going to go with a na motor with a TSP cam package with the ms4. i was also wanting to run like a 300 shot not really sure yet. Any suggestions or help i can get from anyone i would very much appreciate it. I would like to know how much the motor could handle without replacing the crak and rods. Thank you.

first might want to run some arp bolts al the way around.. then maybe...stock crank and rods could handle up to 700 or even more.. i seen a stock ls1 push 800 stock bottom end with a turbo.. and lots of meth of course.. well the good thing about the 6.0 its that its iron.. con is the weight of the block.. opposed to the aluminum..and u might want to purchase a fast 102 ...thats a start...

800 hp from FI is a lot different than 800hp on nitrous...the nitrous will be a bit harder on internals especially pistons than the boost would be.

i wouldnt push anything more than a 100-125 shot on stock pistons and rods.
