Default What would you do if...

you had a brand spanking new forged rotating assmebly sitting in your garage?

Had Mikey at Rapid put one together for me (stock displacement) and now I can't figure out what to do with it!

Go ahead, spend my money, I don't care!

Well, I guess I should elaborate a little more. The engine was set-up for NA. Yeah, I know what your thinking, I should have put those blower pistons in it but I didn't. Oh well...


I guess that limits the choices now doesn't it. :o

You could ship it off to me along with your credit card. I would find a number of uses for it.

Well, about the only good you can get from a stock cube/stock compression all-forged rotating assy. would be for nitrous. Get some nice thick-decked aftermarket heads, and give it the giggle gas. Or ship the whole thing to me for half of what you paid. Ok?

Maybe a 200 wet shot?

I already have AFR's cut .036", about 11:1 or so. Yea, I'm kind of kicking myself in the butt for not getting some dished pistons.

forged bottom end huh... perhaps get a real good valve train going and a new cam to push peak power to higher revs for more top end hp.
