I bet your torque will jump up close to 40 ft-lbs when you step up the boost to 11lbs. Heck, your not even 1/2 way to the novi 2000's max at 11lbs!!!!

scheister said:As far as price goes, visit www.vtengines.com or www.modularfordpowerhouse.com for some suggestions possibly. I would guess when it is all said and done, a new forged bottom end might cost you $5-6K.
I can't wait to get that far as well. I am still a newb at this as of yet. My list of current mods is a tad weak, lol. I can say stroker but it will be a bitmicool said:Did someone say stroker?

Anyways, my car does not get punished too often. It only sees about 3,000 miles a year. I just hope my stock bottom end will hold the new found power for a year or two. After that...is new forged bottom time!

........I'd expect the stock block to last 4-5 years or more, at least.
