[QUOTE="RBB, post: 15880942, member: 152686"] IMO, you'd definitely be pushing the limits of the stock block with a 100 octane tune, cams and high boost. The rods aren't going to last at that level. I guess you just have to decide whether or not you want to roll the dice and chance a failure. You're in for a rebuild at that point anyways....unfortunately you just never know how extensive the damage is going to be when you have a failure. You might get lucky and it'll just be limited to the short block, or you could damage your heads and other components as well which could cost you several thousands more. Do you race the car?
