Want to beef up the engine - forged? So, you can see my mods in the sig. I was thinkin of beefing up the block a bit. What would that entail specifically? Help a guy out and all the info or links to other posts would be great. Want to educate myself before jumping into anything.

Well, new bearings would help, I think if you freshen up the stock rods with ARP rod bolts, they will hold up to about 600 HP, forged pistons would help, ARP main studs, ARP head studs, a main griddle if you are still going with the aluminum block. (http://www.dmperformance.org/ ) Thats about all the beefing i can think of, but im sure theres more somewhere.
