It's basically a 30 dollar resistor, but it's gone now and I was retarded.
I don't want to buy a new block, I want to buy the stuff to forge my block.
My goals are: Dont bend anything, don't crack anything, don't blow anything up.

I've seen a stock crank, diamond pistons, and forged rods put down nearly 1000hp to the tires. If you are looking in the 700-800hp range on a good tune and race gas, a forged rotating assembly in a stock block will do well.

If I get rods and pistons, do I need anything else supporting?
I'm not looking for big numbers. Highest I'll probably ever go is around 500 HP on an STS kit(until I get money for a rear end). How much am I looking at spending on rods, pistons, and installation?
