LS7 for boost w/good internals, would the material between the cylinder be the issue?

I am trying to find out if an LS7 block would be a good candidate for boost with good internals? I know GM used the 6.2 block just for that reason but GM has to look for longevity, I'm trying to go racing.
I posted this in the Gen IV internal section too.

How much boost? The cylinder are pretty weak and brittle on the stock LS7's. You would be better off with a resleeved LS7 or a 6.2L block. I have a 6.2L LSA and LS9 block, these have stronger main caps and oil squirters to keep the pistons cool. PM me if you are interested. Thanks Dave
