n its just overkill having parts that will survive to 700-800 and the block will only last to around 500-550. plus forged parts are heavier so it wouldnt rev as fast as say a cast crank

I'm picking up what your putting down. He may have installed a stud girdle too but I can't be sure. I know I had a completely stock bottom and yes it rev'ed like a 2 stroke (Timing gears?). I snapped the front 2 cylinders off of the block along with the front of the crank. All the Ford guys at work said "Should have bought a forged crank"
