[QUOTE="RedVenom48, post: 16159713, member: 166576"] To be 100% honest with you, thats my plan exactly save for the VMP. Im going with a Whipple unit. After a few calls to Mahle and Ford Racing, the off the record advice was that the 11-12 pistons are fine to 1000hp. The PM rods are the weak link. Manely makes a nice rod for sure, but dont overlook Oliver Racing. I got a set of their Speedway 5.4 rods and per Oliver, they are capable of 1600hp. To be sure, you NEED to get the Kinetic Motorsports Crank Saver stud kit. The factory TTY is a big part of crank snout failures. This is also a problem with the stock style ARP upgrade. This is a complete revision of the damper clamping system. Its an ARP 2000 stud that goes allllll the way down to the end of the cavity with 16mm 12pt nut to fasten. This takes all the torsional stress off the snout from the factory bolt and additionally reinforces the snout past the under cut fillet. Check this picture from Kinetik out: [ATTACH=full]1560788[/ATTACH] For $120 bucks, its a no brainer I think. As for the OPGs and lower crank, absolutely need to upgrade those. Ive got $600 in Accufab OPGs and a Ford Racing oil pump housing ready for the build along with a TSS lower crank gear. They are that important to a GT500 engine living a long happy and monstrous life. :D If you plan on using a 2 step, you need to look at upgraded 8mm tensioner pivot pins as mandatory as well. Secondary chains and factory cam bolts are questionable as well. [/QUOTE]
