Boosting a LS3? What do you guys think, will this be safe? I plan on buying a brand new LS3 block. Basically it will be the stock 4.065 bore with a 4.000 stroke, 415CI
I have a "around" 800rwhp goal, I also have a SDCE upgraded F1A Procharger thats going on this motor, I am guessing 15-17PSI to get my HP goal.
Shouldn't be any worries with this block right? Or should I worry about, warping sleeves, block flexing and crap like that?
Please help me decide what to do guys.

ls3 block is a pretty good piece,i have built a couple of them that was north of 1000rwhp with no issues.A proper hone is critical on the ls3 blocks though,i have fixed several of these due to oil consumption issues.
