i think you could definataley do it if you put in some good rod bolts and rods and you definatley could do it. the thing i try to keep in my head is that the more fuel the better off i am. so i try to keep my fuel system over kill x10 .

the crank is definately strong but the other parts are not garbage. most people that run a turbo dont spin their motors that high so rods and rod bolts wont see as much of a load. the pistons will break in a heartbeat if you let it knock but keep a very close eye on the tune and they will take a lot of power too.

8.8" is hella cheap compared to a new gm 14bolt. and fits right into my s10blazer + moves the wheels out 1.5" on each side putting the wheels flush with the fenders and allowing for a wider wheel/tire.
what did the GM 14bolt come on stock??????
also weakest part of the 5.3L?
