Buy it and put it on a shelf next to your truck, and that way you will get motivated to forge it if you not going for over the 1000hp, club k1 rods and wiseco piston for 2500 are awsome direct drop in replacement, also keep the ring end gap close to spec and you will be surprised what the roe can do no cfm loss here Dyno to come soon to prove me theory but I put mine on before I forged it and no damage done but I only put 3000k miles on it before I dropped in rods and pistons if you can control the urge and have Sean right you the tunes you should really have no problems it is when you try to go past what the motor and Seans design are made to do is when you go Kaboom. But IMO buy it you wont regret it:rock: any questions just pm me or give sean a call.
weak motor I tried this Ryan. 1. you cant resist romping on it now and again. 2. I ate my motor up and I thought I was not abusing it. The safe way to go is get it hardened and then do the S/C. Stinker can help ya with that Good Luck bro Speed
