Ahh the death bleed at the end is great. Front mount 40R FTW, stock 4g63 rods FTL Seriously though, any block that can hold 450+AWHP stock is good in my books. Probably failed due to excessive RPMS vs too much power. Evo8/9 rods have been proven to hold over 550 wheel stock, but really suck at tensile strength above 8K rpms… ---

Revs are what kill rods and rod bolts in these motors. But yea, super strong stuff right out of the box. ---

i saw this car hot lapping pass after pass in ohio. 10.1-10.0 @ 140+mph easily 5-6 passes without stopping, in addition to all the passes it made in competition that day. i believe they are using a 35r or 37r HTA but dont quote me on that. that engine has held up to some serious abuse. a girl owns the car too. ---

STM has been abusing this block with just ARP headstuds for almost 4 years. i’d say its pretty damn impressive. apparently she missed 2nd at 9k. here are some pictures from DSMtuners ![http://i34.tinypic.com/9pyzro.jpg](http://i34.tinypic.com/9pyzro.jpg) ![http://i35.tinypic.com/2ld8zn4.jpg](http://i35.tinypic.com/2ld8zn4.jpg) ![http://i36.tinypic.com/2akhua.jpg](http://i36.tinypic.com/2akhua.jpg) ![http://i34.tinypic.com/oqaexf.jpg](http://i34.tinypic.com/oqaexf.jpg) ![http://i38.tinypic.com/27z98n6.jpg](http://i38.tinypic.com/27z98n6.jpg) ![http://i36.tinypic.com/25jy59w.jpg](http://i36.tinypic.com/25jy59w.jpg) a couple more hello kitties and she’ll be all better :hug ---

wow even OEM rod bolts. alot of the guys running “stock bottom ends” use ARP rod bolts with the stock rods, pistons and bearings… and like you said, that car has been around getting beat for a while now. ---
