So if I use that O-ringed felpro gasket, ARP rod bolts, forged pistons, the J&S system, moderate boost, and eventually meth injection shouldn't the engine be pretty much bulletproof for quite awhile? I've eliminated weak pistons and detonation which I imagine were the only two problems I faced for longevity of engine life.
Both the pistons and stocks rods would be forged. The last two things I can think that would the crank and the main caps. At what point would it be worth it to get a ARP kit for the mains? And up to what HP would the stock crank support? Is it worth it to do any crankshaft work like lightening or polishing?
