Boss Heads Vs. GT Heads

And for those that want to be able to beat on their cars reliably daily, they will have to fork over more to build the bottom end to handle the abuse.

I like driving a fun car often. Not just 3 days out of the month. To me it's not very fun to have a fast car that you have to pamper because you're scared a rod will break. So for those that do enjoy that, hey cool. I just know I wouldn't. So in my eyes, the cost of a successful blower setup includes a built bottom end.

My car is basically stock right now, I do not beat it everyday. Hell, Id be lucky to redline it once a week. LOL I think my motor would last a long time even at 650 LOL. This is all hypothetical though lots of factors.

I can bite on to that idea. At least with that, you can see how long a stock one will last at boost and figure out the weak points of the internals.

Me personally, I'm going to give it a few years to see what developes from people that have spent the money and effort. I don't want to make their mistakes

Exactly. When the Kseries honda came out everyone was bitching about how the motor was weaker then the Bseries. Now 450-500 on stock internals is a well known fact. Just like the S2000 making 600whp on stock bottom ends is reliable. The record for that stock long block is 700whp.

Exactly. That's why I references the F22C. I believe that car comes with forged crank and rods stock. So you can boost it and not have to worry about the bottom end failing for a good while.

When they first came out people were saying that since they were high compression 350 whp was the tops before you needed a build. Now look at them today! Crazy! I knew people that blew them up back then at 300whp lol!
