it was only a 300 dollar motor i could of bought another stock motor or even just put bearings in my old rods threw them in the motor that bent rods would of cost me about 150 but i just dont want to deal with a stock bottom end anymore. Its awesome to say you ran this or made this power but I have too much to do to always be working on my own car. I have 3 customers turbo builds to do and my car needs to go away! lol

Now just remember a forged motor can break too if pushed too hard. Spend the time and make sure all the parts going on the motor are strong too. Then make sure you tune with octain to keep the hot spots out of the motor.

Oh i know that one thats why i thought of going with another stocker.
Its at the shop getting line honed main studs coated bearings everything needed to hopefully stay together. I bought a new oil pump will run AMS oil again just whatever the engine builder says i should run depending on the oil clearances i told him i wanted .0025-.0028, I am only going to run c16 for the rest of the year and come spring i will have a meth kit from you.

Well, my motor will come out in a month or so. We'll see how it looks after a season. I know it needs rings but that should be it.

Ran today have the lowering springs in back cut a 1.36 60' but screwed up my 1-2 shift. Either I spun on the launch or almost hit the back bumper. Car has way more torque couldn't leace with more than 10psi and maxed at 20psi. Had a 9.7@95 lol and a 10.3@149.61 now my rear shocks are showing their heads so ill see what I can do the next few days but to keep it down the rear needs adjustment
