I know this has been beat to death, but every year that goes by, the community learns a little more.
What MPH would a stock bottom end take, maybe with upgraded pistons.
Assuming a safe tune, plenty of octane, etc...
Anybody go over 130MPH on a stock short block?
Would i be OK running 128MPH without a girdle or caps?
I plan on doing a better short block next winter, this is about I can afford this year. Roll Cage, FAST, suspension, fuel system, heads,cam,tranny,etc... all had to be done first. I got that out of the way. So, this year I got to try to keep it together untill I can do it right. I'm a boost junky, so I know I'll be pushing it hard. When should I stop?? (Yeah, someone will say,, when you run over the crank, back off a little and that should be good. I don't want to go there!)
