That second engine lasted, and ran great on both driving to work, and clicking off ET's at the strip.
Nothing has changed. GM doesn't make the wickest parts, they make a system that runs hard and reliably.
No, I don't work for GM. Yes, I buy a LOT of aftermarket parts. But given the choice, I'll run GM shit. They do their homework. Top Rung stuff.

I'd have to agree with this as well. I have a forged steel crank from GM in my 305 Sprint Car engine that is built to racing spec and it has cranked 5-7k rpm all day for the past two years at the track.
