big turbo forged internals I have a 2001 ws6, the LT1 detonated under 12 lbs of boost producing 596 RWHP, I now have an LQ9 6.0 liter, it has JE forged pistons and rods, valves rockers push rods etc etc, bored balanced etc. i have a new front mount inter cooled 81 mm turbo making an appearance on it. its attached to a tremec 6 speed. my question is how far can i push the motor before the crank checks out? my motor builder friend said the weakest point was the crank at this point. the other question is what reasonably priced rearend mods can i do, so i wont blow it up immediately?

not my car, but mine is identical, my car had the 350 in it, am i wrong assuming its an LT1? either way its in lots of pieces. What is the s60 rearend and where can i find a 9 inch or s60. my thoughts were to do a mini tub but looking into that it seems quite costly, thoughts?
Why would you post pics of a car that aint yours?
Post some of yours so we can see what it is. If it is indeed a 2001 then its a ls1 if it still had the factor motor.
