awesome build, just wondering if you did any work to the block? did you get it lined or honed?
edit- my bad i see where you said 347 now.
I was looking at going with -4cc valve relief 3.905 bore mahle pistons.

pending on money when the motor is finished. Im either going to do a 150 plate, with a 50 to 100 nozzle. If I have enough money when the motor is finished, I am going to do a DP kit.

Sorry should have went into more detail. I have a TT setup that makes 850 rwhp on the high boost setting...but for normal every day use I don't use the boost controller and with just the 8.75 lbs wastegate springs make approximately 600 rwhp. The tune is setup for the 18# boost setting so the low boost setting isn't really even optimized.
I wouldnt switch the stock crank out on any of these engines. I and about 10 people we have built engine for and with are all high 8xx hp vehicles and are all running stock cranks.
