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."

None the less, you hit 100 awful quick.
You probably are running the highest HP on a stock block as i have ever heared. Most people are worried about pushing 400. Glad it is working out for you though, those are some awesome numbers!
