Default running FI w/o forged internals

just wanted to see if many people run FI without forged internals. i was thinking of going FI and was going to keep it around 420, should they hold?

From everything Ive read yes you should be ok stock and I will go that route myself, however I would never say dontget forged internals, they are your best bet.

tell me about it I'm looking at the 400rwhp 5-6 psi kits.

Hammeron: A little offtopic but are you running stock brakes/suspension? I'm planning brakes and suspension first but....

yes, stock brakes & suspension.

i would like to do adjustable LCA's in the near
future. regarding the brakes.....i rarely punch it
up past 80ish....that's why i choose lca's as the next
mod.....brakes will probably follow some time down
the road

With a proper tune you should be fine. If you really want to go forged I'd wait til the motor blows up and you're forced to. I mean, it really doesn't cost you much more to do it after rather than before you blow. Unless of course you put a hole in your block.[sm=yikesomg.gif]
