once you get the forged internals, it doesn't mean you have to run 20 psi, but you have the security that your motor will be able to handle almost anything u give it.

plus when u yank the motor you will have all brand new gaskets, and nice clean engine and not some worn out, leaking, dirty motor.
That was kinda my plan. I have an extra head that just needs the valves replaced, and I was gonna have it ported and polished anyway. I just need to find another block to stick it on cause I dont have another car to drive while mine sits in pieces for a few days.
