LQ9 safe limit on stock main caps Hi, I have a Supercharged (tvs 2300) LQ9 with forged crank, rods & pistons. It also has full ARP studs, inc bottom end. Unfortunately, the engine builder didn't pin the main caps so my question is what's the safe flywheel HP limit for this engine without the main caps walking?

there no real answer to thing with no walking maybe 800. but a little walking wont hurt anything. but there no way to know at what limit the walking of the mains will be a issues cause it is the time and load to cause issues. so maybe 1100hp
