Been running at the 440+ level since 2003, with over 200 dragstrip passes. I'd say its holding up well. It's got solid fuel delivery, and was tuned by a very reputable tuner (Dave Guy at Kauffmans/SGS). He tuned his cousin's 01 GT to make 530 rwhp on the stock shortblock, but he doesn't race it regularly like I do.
Eventually I'll be getting a forged shortblock. But even if the engine is built, it won't last long if there's detonation. On the other hand, the stock rods/pistons can actually hold up pretty well if you have plenty of fuel and have a solid tune.
It's not really evident in the video clip, but it was spinning throughout first and most of 2nd gear. So the immediate jump in miles per hour isn't "real."
