Like i've said before...for much less than the cost of a built short block you can pull the motor, add ARP rod bolts, forged blower pistons, and head studs, reassemble and say hello to 600rwhp with no worries. Yeah, it would cost a little $$ but only a fraction of a built short block...and the factory crank/rods (when better bolts are used) will hold a reasonable amount of power.
