wow I thought this forum had more people that would not give out info that they new nothing about but I was wrong! 8.5 compression ratio not true at all!you could go up to 10:1 with pump gas. will a alum. block and stock rods be able to handle it yes all day long at the kind of power levels you are looking for. I run a stock 5.3 short block with a set of ported 241 heads and with the twin 57mm turbos it turns 550 to the rear wheels on pump gas at 13# of boost on pump gas it has more to to offer with switching over to e85 but supper happy with 550 rwhp for and everyday driver. are you capable of doing the fab for turbos yourself? this is were the money comes from it is time consuming and it costs alot in labor this is were the supercharger option might be better for you.what kind of car is this going in?

I've had eaton, procharged and turbo, setups on a ls based engines, I like the turbo the best. My current driver has a ls1, with rods, pistons,ls6 intake compression is 9.2 1, it made 680 hp to the rear tires on pump gas. I drive this to work, 60 miles round trip, no under hood heat issues and if you drive normal still gets good fuel economy . I would keep the heads and get rods and pistons.
