This isn't lookin' like much of a build thread here anymore! Lets let the man get back on track and start a topic elsewhere to debate about at what point you should consider pinning the mains. It's great info and deserves a thread as much as this guy does his own build thread.
Good luck to you OP and can't wait to see the finished product!!!

ive just been running a similar for 3 years now, around 24psi it pushes some water, at 900rwhp the mains were walking a little, hardblock amd larger main studs fixed that issue. iron block with double orings with copper gaskets torqued to 100lbs with larger studs helped. to say it will no push a drop at 30psi is a little premature.
pin the mains, and hardblock it to the water pump holes.

wish you guys the best of luck! i want ethanol!!!
i chose to put my money into block and heads because thats what gave me trouble in the past. everybody has their own approach and invests in their own concerns
i had to / wanted to work with a small cam, low revs, heavy car, small (these days) turbo, and random octane levels. eliminating these makes life easier on the engine
no sense in comparing budgets because there is give and take all over the place, and way to high anyways lol. is there going to be less money in this car than mine.. nope
is this car gonna be in kentucky or at the shootout?

Thanks MM!
We will just have to wait it out and see how it all pans out.
Yes, we will be at most of the NMCA races including Holley Fest and Shoot out. It will be nice to meet you there.

I shouldn't have to tell you this dave, you know, and have been in that posistion.
I just hate when you get hyped for a build or outing and you run into problems the first time out and have to re-do the set-up. I ran into the same problem my first time out this year, it happens though. Live and learn.
Good luck man hope to see all you guys at the Shootout this year too.

I just want to give a shot out to Fraser and the guys over at AES! These guys are TOP notch! we have dealt with a lot of companies over the years getting our cars built, but never had a better experience then with AES they got the motor done for our deadline and helped us every step of the way. I will NEVER go anywhere else to get my motor build. Thanks again guys!!
