Hi there,Levin GT wrote:So....i am just telling you, with the numbers you are aiming for, you will have a weak spot in the stock flywheel bolts (if not arp) and, or pinned to the crank, and the stock main bolts and caps.
Just for your information I had my last 3TC with stock main caps and factory 2nd hand re-used main bolts let go thanks to cylinder hydraulic lock with 380rwhp at about the 990ft mark on the quarter mile. The main caps and bolts had no issue at all even though the rod was compressed then violently torn off the crank.
The old school figures commonly passed around suggested 300 flywheel HP was all the stock bolts and caps could take but many people have been exceeding 300+ Wheel HP on the stock gear.
A performance engine is always a hand grenade and the safety pin is not the same on any two of em...
