Im tryin to figure out if it would be worth it to bore the motor and put forged internals. Or just stick with the stock block. Im only runing 5psi of boost.

At 5 psi I'd stick with stock internals. Really no reason to upgrade unless you plan on cranking it way up in the future.

What displacement? That's a decent price for an LQ9, a bit high for an LQ4 and that would be a terrible price for a 5.3
