Question DD turbo 5.3 question

Just about ready to drop in the 5.3 into my c10. Waiting on motor mount to come in. But I was going to just run it NA but after taking the BBC out I have so much room to play with and now I'm debating on fabing a single or twin set up....I've search for limits on 5.3s with turbos but most people use upgraded rod bolts but on my build I went with factory rod bolts because it's basically just a stock rebuild with a cam....so how much boost could I run as a DD and not have to worry about breaking stuff? It would be nice to make 500-550rwhp

And would yall do twins or a single?

Thanks for any info
