What year 5.3? 3rd gen rods and pistons will handle probably 800-850. 4th gen have been known to stay in one piece at 1200. I know of one 5.3 with stock bottom end and ARP rod bolts probably making 1300whp, so 1500 or so at the crank.

im running 9.70s at the track on pump gas on my every day tune on a completely stock 5.3 except for a cam and valve springs. assess your goals and go from there. if your looking to make 700 horse dont touch the motor. if your looking to make more then consider doing rod bolts etc.
