Building a Very Strong and Reliable FI Motor I am in the process of getting a F1R supercharger kit. I would like to be able to max this out, but I need to know what parts are suggested for this task. I know Eagle is most likely not up to the job, but how much is too much by wasting money? I mean do I really need the $1800 Billet Rods and $3000 crankshaft? I want this motor to take a beating and not worry about doing teardowns once a year.

how much boost do you plan to run? and what are you horsepower goals? if you are looking for say 600-700rwhp Eagle would be fine as would the Callies rods, if you plan to push 1000rwhp then I would step up to Callies crank and Oliver rods. it all depends on your goals. it can get expensive very quickly.

I have a great 370 cu in FI shortblock I'm selling, It will handle whatever you throw at it. I have it in the for sale section, you can look it up by my user name. Let me know if you are interested. Thanks Dave

Well, since I want to max out this supercharger (1300HP) I will take you suggestion on the rods and crank. Any preferences on the piston manufacturer and/or rings? Any opinions on Total Seal Max Rings? I am also thinking about intergrating a vacuum pump to help the rings seat better with the forced induction.
