The rods are rated at 450 horsepower. 450 flywheel is the limit pretty much. 380-400 RWHP. You're pushing it at that point though. I would stay safe and stop at around 350 RWHP till you build the motor.

If you dont have the 3650 tranny it could be to much for your transmission

A quick note, I hope you saved your stock UDP's b/c you will need them for the SC.

i like the jlt a lot. it gives a real nice sound, and a little better throttle response, atleast i think it does.
