People boosting 4.8-5.3? How come you can throw a large amount of boost at the 4.8-5.3 without destroying your engine but the same amount on a stock LS1 will kill it?
Just looking for some knowledge.

Compression ratio is different. The lower ratio of the truck engines allows for higher boost pressures. I don't think the block becomes an issue until well beyond the power most people care to make.
