I said I would do it and I'm going to. The Pentastar is on an engine stand. S/C coming off and then tearing down the motor and rotating assembly.
Let's see how it held up to the forces induction.

Def interested in this
Do you plan to reassemble it afterward? If so, you may as well consider rebuilding it better with some forged pistons:

what year is the pentastar? i need a 2012 belt tensioner for 1 day.
I want to "amsoil" my intake. Should be a good video.
It's a 2013 model year made late 2012.
This is gonna be very cool to follow.
Let's see what it looks like when she comes apart. I'm very much interested in the possibility of putting it back together with forced induction specific components and perhaps some deck support. My gut tells me forged pistons, forged rods and add deck collars. My ideal solution would be twin turbos and custom calibration. I'm counting on you to do the math!
The stock rods are already forged :)
By "do the math", I hope you aren't counting on me to help choose turbo sizes, pipe sizes, etc! I don't know anything about how to do that.
Maybe you could talk to Prodigy and get some info from them about what is recommended to support some serious boost. As is probably obvious from the forged pistons with their logo on them, they're already working on that idea. I don't know if they have anything planned aside from the pistons.
I'm really intrigued by this:
