What is the danger of going to a LS1 piston? Would I have rod concerns with that size piston on a stock 5.3 rod at 11:1 CR?

A 5.3, ls1(5.7), and 6.0 are all the same stroke with different bore sizes. A 5.3 block can be bored to ls1 specs. There are a lot more piston options for a ls1. Put the ls1 pistons on the 5.3 rods, rebalance and assemble. Its that easy!

Thanks man.
I am going to buy HP Tuners to tune this setup, would anyone have a base tune to get me started they would share?

it ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors, It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em..That's the difference

I think a couple tuners out there will get you a startup base tune for like $150.
