[QUOTE="tt335ci03cobra, post: 16273594, member: 68944"] Personally I wouldn’t rev a 4.165” stroke past 6500. I know it can be done with stronger parts, and is done often enough, but it dramatically reduces the life of the pieces. The max effort race stuff sold for thousands last’s a season or two and about 50-100 passes in those high dollar race setups. They aren’t scams but let’s be realistic, everything breaks in high heat/high stress environments. 2000 street mile of high rpm pulls here and there is harder on it than that is, and also there is no where near the same support and inspection going on with a street car. Race teams go full spectrum to mitigate or eliminate the chance of running dry, having Fowler plugs etc. The better maintained street cars still see 100-200 miles before plugs and oil gets a check at the next fill up. I still really dig @CD07GT500’s build though. I’m guilty of chasing the less reliable modular spectrum myself with my big bore stroker and knew it at the time I did my build. I’m sure if he throws a rod or spins a bearing he’s halfway anticipated it or will deal with it and probably has the money to do something different at that time. Speed costs money, once you’ve spent money on a few speed builds you go cold to the idea that it’s going to last all that long and do it more for the creativity. After that it’s hit and miss between creative or just go fast cheap for me personally. [USER=195665]@CD07GT500[/USER], that was a slick engine bay pic from that link[ATTACH=full]1594375[/ATTACH] Here’s how mine turned out [ATTACH=full]1594377[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]1594378[/ATTACH] If you have the money to spend, you can get modular parts to really make a few metric tons of power, it’s just expensive and much more involved than doing it with coyote stuff. Gt350’s have died at 550hp and lots of bad luck or bad maintenance but have also gone to 1200hp with solid builds and good maintenance. Nothing’s guaranteed, I’m just past the money pit phase and want to go fast for cheap again. [/QUOTE]
