We're running 396 @ the rear with Pistons (11:1 compression), Cams, Rods, Heads, Headers, Intake, Improved Fueling, Tune, HFC's and cat back on 91 octane. With 96 and above will crest 400 quite easily. With a bit more tweaking, it will surpass 400 rwhp 91 octane and what's been done to the motor is considered mild in comparison. Price is reasonable and the motor is much more reliable then and FI motor, especially for everyday driving.

The problem with an FI motor, is the eternals. They can't take the pressure and continuous abuse. Parts wear quicker and are very susceptible to breakage, particularly mains, rods and cranks caused by inefficient oiling.

Internals
on an FI motor are no more prone to wear than internals on an FI engine laying similar numbers down.

I'd love to see pics/dynos for your build

pistons are not bolt ons

Besides, most of it is about getting usable power, not just power above 5 grand.
