Hey all -
I have a sneaking suspicion my short block wont last long with my current set up. I'm teetering on ~700hp (600 wheel) on a 100% original long block. Has a cam and valve train but the heads have never been off the car.
Anyone have a good experience with any vendors on a forged short or long block? Prefer a forged crank w forged rods and pistons with FI gapping.
Not interested in building it myself. Just peeking around at options right now as I actually have a little money right now.
**EDIT**
Just looking for a stock cube LS1, nothing crazy. Once I go forged I'll go from ~10 psi to ~13-15. FI is a A&A V3si.
