Turbo ls1 newb

I'm new to turbo ls's and Ls engines but I have a c10 I'd like to turbo. Looking at on3 76mm or a s475. Will a aluminum 5.7 hold up to boost? Just wondering because that's what I have, keeps me from buying a new engine.

Sorry new to the site. Well seems doable and I read someone went 9.70's with twins on a ls6. I've heard though the aluminum blocks can twist. Is this true?

I plan on making 900ish to the wheels with an aluminum block if it makes you feel better

I don't intend on being on kill all of the time nor do I intend on racing every weekend. I think that it'll be fine for my intended purpose. If I had to do it over if find an aluminum 5.3
