Stock bottom end won't hold up to that. You need pistons and rods.

You will need rods and pistons. the head stock can handle 20 psi but the bottom end cant. building a head with valves and springs is so you can rev it higher. cams help make power but the bottom end is what needs built to handle boost. a set of h beam rods and w/e pistons you decide on will be just fine.

Stock crank should be fine for those numbers. If i were you, id sleeve it. Technically you dont have to and im sure ill get the normal replies saying someone has done 500hp stock sleeves, but its just nice to have that extra strength to the block. If your gonna do cams, id atleast upgrade the springs and retainers, on certain cams, its required that you upgrade them anyways.

Another thing, id do OEM bearings instead of ACL. Just my oppinion, ive ran ACL before and didnt like the clearances, with OEM, you can get them just about perfect. Just takes a little more effort. Id also do any major maintainance while your in there such as timing belt, water pump, oil pump depending on the miles on the motor before the build, ect. Plus ARP head studs would be a for sure thing to get as well.
