I know a guy selling a 572....it'll probably kill the tranny within 15 feet but with 650hp it would be a FUN 15 feet

It looks like there was a problem for quite some time, it looks like the valves are toasted /melted for #4/6. I wouldnt think a 5.3 thats running good with a good tune would snap a rod on a 150 shot. Are you gonna go with a forged 6.0?

What the hell happened to the red truck in your link? Also, I take it you made your traction links?

looks like the cylinder that busted the rod was already dead, look at the color difference on the valves and exhaust port compared to the other ones.
