Default Forged components?
Anyone have a ballpark estimate what it would cost for parts to upgrade the internal of a LS1...steel crank, forged pistons, rods??

Around $3K. The stock crank is fine for big power.

you can purchase a bulid 347 forged shortblock for around 3k stock crank will hold some good 500 to 600hp.
