I need some of you guys expert help PLEASE!
I'm waste deep in my turbo build and need some questions answered... I've got a tsp 370( stock balanced crank,compstar rods,and diamond -15cc pistons). I've been going back and forth trying to figure out if i should o-ring the block. I'm most likely going to be going with an 88 and would like to push some good boost. I guess what i really need to know is will that bottom end hold enough boost to be worthy of needing it o-ringed?
Second big issue i have is my heads, I have a set of stage 3 ls6 patriots with 64cc chambers and 2.08/1.60 valves that i was running on my ls1. I wanna run these heads with my turbo motor, but I've heard bad things about trying to make a lot of boost with patriot heads and don't know how much i trust them. I'm going to run these heads no matter what, at least for a little while just to get the car going, but i want to know how much boost you guys think I will be safe to push on them.
Thanks in advance for any input.

no doubt tha tuning and suspension will be done right.... i've already have a methanol and nitrous kit if me and tha tuner think it needs either... i'm trying to get some prices on o-ringing and half inch head studs, and if i decide against it i'll do arp studs with good gaskets... i'll probably run this setup for now and go to a better set of heads and a carburated intake with an elbow later... i was hoping to get a little bit more insight on what kind of boost levels i could try with this setup(with oringing and without)

why would you oring the block if it is not even safe to push that motor over 800whp mark on that crank. i know many people push the factory crank to over 1000whp mark but i do not think those guys are telling you the whole story. i am sure the cranks have had some treatments before they went back in to the motor.
