2 bolt mains, how far can i go? so im building a 383 stroker, eagle 4340 crank, h beam rods, and srp forged pistons.. which should be bullet proof.. but my block is a 2 bolt main.. im wondering how much hp can i make, without pushing the crank out? im pretty confident that it will make 400+hp n/a, and i plan on spraying 2 stages of nitrous adding up to 300.. i am pretty well tapped out fund wise, and i can't afford the splayed main caps.. for that matter i cant afford to do any thing about it a this point..

400RW N/A should be no problem 
I would add the four bolt billet caps for the juice Stock caps are going to want to walk at that level.
If you can't afford it now you really wont be able to afford it when you spin a main bearing

youll be ok n/a but you should save up and do it right, 2bolts wont hold that kinda juice 
Hasent anyone run turbo/supercharged LT1/Gen 1 350 2 bolt main up to 700rwhp. Is it just because of the large amount of nitrous that a bearing will spin? I was hoping to be able to do a dual nozzle 200 shot on stock crank and caps but with arp studs. Probally gonna do some Scat 6" H (maybe I) Beams with Mahle pistons.
