Those motors have the best rod ratio that I've seen. If there was ever one to boost, that would be the one. Dude in super street put about 24psi of boost with a t66 turbo. Stock block with the exception of 9.0:1 arias forged pistons. Upgraded the ignition system a bit and the fuel injectors to like 720cc's. His article was to dispell myths about those blocks being insufficient for power gains like that and to document their potential when tuned well. It made that power (500hp+) with a stock intake and throttle body. Stock cams. Those motors are decent.
