5.3 questions i got a 5.3 pull out the other day and tore it down completely....it had a little rust in a few cylinders....I'm hoping It can just be honed...but my question is if I throw this thing back together using stock rods and Pistons with arp rod bolts how much boost / hp would I be able to make before it starts to break?
I'd like to make 600rwhp with a single or twins set up....using basically a stock short block besides rod bolts....stock heads ( haven't even looked to see which heads I have).....haven't decided On a cam yet And either the holly or edlebrock high rise efi intake...
Any input yall have Id like to hear it....and 600 is really the minimum I want to make...more is always better but I want it to last a long while

Ive done alot of reading an I mean alot, and ive sked all these questions my self, i also have a ton of 4cyl turbo racing exsperence. but people have ran all stock engines an made 600hp 500tq fine, that very doable with just bolt on parts cam an heads, but boosting is a way diff animal, withnstock internals wrong fuel mix alittle detonation and those rodsmwith crumble. Pistons will. Melt. So id ur runnins stock imternals and boosting make sure ur ur fuel mix is perfect with no mistakes other wise u will need forged stuff to protect ur engine from the procsess of tuning that thing
