    Stock bottom ends are alot stronger than people give them credit for. I sprayed the piss out of my stock mustang 2V for years, and when I took it apart there was little to no wear on the engine!

    yep. if i had to rebuild my engine i would just put in some forged pistons with the stock rods and crank with some nice rod bolts and call it a "built" motor.

    it sucks that my engine was fine though

    More N2O can change that...or you can spray it in overdrive and really have a ball at the top end...

    I was actually gonna say sorry when I first saw this but it was so impressive that I couldn't.

    I was just thinking...I remember when Dale broke his chain in the 5.3 @ ~310,000 miles he said there was still factory cross hatch in all the cylinders.
