forged pistons and stronger rods - i'm guessing the crank will survive?!?!?!

if you have to ask you should consider buying a crate motor. I believe DSS has long blocks for around 8 grand or so.

yea dude...if you're talking dropping some seroius cash like that, i'd just buy a completely forged block with forged internals and all...that way you could prolly make 600+rwhp probably not too much risk there with completely forged either. you're talking like buying a used 05 v6 money lol....well thats if you wanna do your whole car in one shot, everything right, IMO
