Default 5.3 or 6.0
A guy at work wants a nitrous motor built and he wants no less than 500rwhp on all motor. Now he think (for some reason) would be easier with a 5.3. I think a 370 would be the best way. Any insight?

The 5.3 might get there cheaper, but cubic inches make everything easier.

Thats what I've been saying, any clue how much a stock crank can handle with nitrous?

Stock cranks can handle 6-800 HP and remain reliable.

I've heard they can handle more with boost than nitrous. Any ideas why?
