One more question; would you suggest replacing the bearings?
I live in Columbia City 73turbo53. There isn't a single station her that sells it. I know there are in Fort Wayne near where Chris lives, but it's more than that. I like to drive the car on the street quite a bit. I drive to work down in Peru with the car and I make trips to Muncie on top of just doing random road trips. For the lousy mileage E85 yields and the fact that most stations do not have it (there isn't a single one on my way to work, and it would drink more than a full tank to get there and come home). It just doesn't make any sense to do E85 for me without sacrificing what I want out of it (to not be restricted on where I drive).
I'll be staying with pump gas and meth injection + intercooling.
I know Chris's setup. It's an awesome truck and he pushes it way harder than I ever would my car. But he also has gone through at least one 5.3 before also. If I need to dial back the boost to keep it safer on the fuel I plan on running, I will.

I think the reliability is in the tune.
500 hp with a **** tune will pop, while others make 800 plus and last forever with a great tune.
That t56 is going **** you off after it breaks a few times and you have to shell out the money to rebuild it. They're a lot of fun but it'll end up being the weak link unless you spend some serious money to upgrade it enough to handle the power you're trying to make

I already have a source than can get me a low mileage L33 shipped to my door for less than $1k.
