What general hp level do the early 5.3 rods start bending barring detonation? I have read the 700whp area. Does this sound right?

Another member on here went 9.15 @ 148 on stock unopened bottom end LS1. These are the same rods and it was through a th400 and 12 bolt rear and a procharger. Given that each of these takes away from HP he is somewhere around 900+ at the crank. hope this helps
