I would say yes. Aftermarket dished pistons, h-beam rods and splayed caps. Looks like it was built for boost.

I really hope it is, i'm just new to internal stuff. We pulled this motor out of another car to put in my wifes camaro. I have some specs on the motor I can dig up and post. Maybe that will help.

Srp forged pistons, and forged h beam rods at the minimum.

Reading what it says on the cap screw is a really good way to tell what brand the rods are most of the time.

You can probably find a part number stamped somewhere on the crank to verify what it is.
