Forged Rotating Kit - DIY? Part 1
I think quite a few of us guys running
8 - 10psi, would like to:
1) turn up the boost to 12
2) still run pump gas (say 92)
3) install this kit ourselves, in the comfort of
our own garage.
We're not interested in building a monster,
but we want piece of mind, that a forged
assembly will offer.
Can someone with pretty much no skills, but has
the tools, the Ford service manualand is not
worried about lengthy downtime, install this?
Comments, opinionsand advice are welcomed.

Update: As of today May 15, I am planning to
attempt this. I'm gathering the special tools needed
and am preparing my garage for the main event.
I havn't decided for sure, on who's rotating kit (Haney
or Livernois)but it seems like these are the two
top sources to choose from.

not go all the way

I thought our crank is already good for 600hp. They pistons, rods, and Main Bearings were the weak links

as long as you torqe everything the wright and make sure al clearances with the pistons/valves are good then thier really shouldnt be any prob. i would recomend getting the block cleaned and all the goodies but if your just keeping everything the same, you just want a stronget b/e then you should be fine
