Re: l98 bottom. (devilfish)
It will take what you want to do... a lot of forum members are running close to that with stock lower ends with more mileage to boot.

Re: l98 bottom. (devilfish)
If you run N/A, the stock bottom end can easily take 400RWP.
There are many Superram and Miniram cars with 350RWP - 380RWP using the stock bottom end. The key is to run the Car Naturally Aspirated.
Also, if you keep the RPM's under 5500, the stock bottom end will work fine. High RPM's is a killer for the rods/rod bolts.
Any power adder will cause problems with the Cast pistons.
With the mods you are planning, your motor should have no problems.
