who here is running an iron LS1 on boost?

Well, I really need to remove my heads before I can decide what I will be doing. I'm hoping that I only burned out a piston. I have my fingers crossed that I didn't ruin a head or both. If I just ruined a piston I was thinking of going with a forged set, and making it into an LS1. I also previously decided to go to a turbo since I feel that I am wanting more power than the Radix 112 can handle. I was thinking of a 76mm with the LS1 plan. Any input?

I think Kyle (KBRacing) has a iron 5.7, I know he has a turbo on it.

I thought about going that route on my new motor for a nitorus app. The machine shop was pretty nervous about it, having never cut a 5.3 that far before. I know it works and can be done, but it takes cutting like .108" out of the bore. It was gonna cost $250 just to bore, I can get a lq4 core for that around here so I went with the lq4 again.
