limits of 5.3 internals
I'm new to the truck thing. What are the limits of the stock internals in a 5.3? Mine is supercharged (Rotrex) not even close to pushing it right now and I'd like to know before I start pushing it.

"parish8" has gone 600rwhp stock internals 5.3 for a while with the fuel to feed it, tune, and z06 cam with a lot of track passes on it. So probably around there somewhere.

very cool. I'm planning to push this thing to around 500ish. It's not a daily driver but will get driven quite a bit and due some short trip Camaro towing duty.

we are officialy into the "countless" runs on the 5.3 turbo set up. on drag week we made 50runs in a week. 20 just on friday. we had to leave the track and go fill up the car mid day. took it bracket racing last friday and put another 10 runs on it.
i am going to have to say 600rwhp isn not living too close to the edge. at some point it would be fun to see how far it can go before failing.
