With all the talk of "how much power a stock can handle reliably" it is easy to lie to yourself and say it won't happen to me. I know I did.

You MUST plan for the worst and hope for the best. Otherwise you will be devistated when it does happen to you.
Think of it like shoving three sticks of dynamite to the cylendars when they are designed to handle one or two.

Good luck with the built motor![/QUOT

I see you have a gtm long block?
How long did it take to get from from them? I have the money to pull the trigger but no options.
Thats exactly why im having my engine built getting ready for my fi tt kit

Sorry to hear ur troubles bro
