Re: Finally Popped for Forged Short Block (AWSM_06)
Alright Mike, you gonna tell 'em or should I?.... The numbers are in: just picked my car and the initial results are 640 RWHP and 575 RWTQ!! Whoa! That's an increase of about 30 # ft. of torque!. I am impressed, and the car runs smooooooth as silk! Thanks Mike. Let's see what you can do with a little smaller pulley in the days to come!
oh well I guess I better let you enjoy it for a while and not get you all worked up :D

"One of our blocks is getting the 427CI treatment and an F1 blower going into a TransAm with a whole slew of support products. That will be one crazy ride!!!"
I hope it'll be a VERY crazy ride - especially on 100 octane!
:D
AWSM, congrats on the great numbers! :hurray:

"My "dream" package is an all bore 388 CI motor with a custom billet stock stroke crank, Darton Block, custom 1/2" head studs, Stage III 6.0L heads, custom solid roller w/ roller rockers, MMS S/C kit with upgraded F1 blower making about 20psi of boost. That should get you upwards of 1000 RWHP."
Hey Mike, you think you can get mine to be close to 1000RWHP? :D
Tell you what, if you hit or break 1000RWHP with the setup you are doing now on my WS6, I'll give you a $1000 CASH tip. Seriously. Just get it done within 8 weeks of this Monday. Waddya say? :D

I too at xtreme have seen stock cranks handle 650+ponnies,however if the checkbooks out and the rrwhp ats 550+ IMHO I would go for the forged unit.Andy and I both confered on this 1 a year+ ago but I myself dont trust the stock wrist pins at all,Dave Smilovic
