So a stock fuel system essentially? Why not have twins with 1 feeding each head?

If pressure would have dropped it would have been addressed.

exactly how do you spend $10g in the bottom end? the rods are $2500 fire ring kit is $500, a girdle is $500, a block fill is under $100
do you just keep $5000 in cash in the pan?

Some 238/80s have hit 500 or a hair over. Without tons of time in live tuning, which isnt cheap. Junkie had track times at 550 with 250/80s but he had the truck supported for way more power, headers, etc....
In most instances you need a hybrid of 238+ and at least 80 over nozzles to even think about 500hp.
Lol at 38r being a "not so awesome" turbo.

It's hard to do a fill in an apartment? I travel for a living dude
And a hypermax girdle is over $2k.
Figure in about $1000 for a rebuild kit. $2900 for rods, $2500 for a girdle, add in misc bearings and what have you $500. Lets say $2000 on the highend for delipped, valve reliefed, and ceramic coated tops and DFL skirts. Throw in some H11 studs, that's what? $850-900? So that's $8900 roughly. With machine work and labor on the half fill you're already at $10k. I'm wanting to start anew with a superduty block. Little more meat. If I could justify a hypermax block I'd roll with that, but only a small group of guys are running them and no street driven trucks that I'm aware of. Hard to justify with questionable longevity.

Hypermax doesn't make a girdle. They got kinda angry when I asked the one day when I stopped in there. "If the mains need more strength a thin piece of junk steel isnt going to address the issue". Ok. Sorry! LOL
They only sell a bedplate and iirc its 3500 dollars before you mod an oilpan to work with it.

Glad to see you guys managed to get back on track after some digs at each other.

I don't think so. But opinions are like assholes, this thread clearly shows that.

rebuild kit with delipped pistons was $1300 (adding valve reliefs isnt more then a couple hun) stock pistons are the only game in town so you cant spend here
rods were $2400
girdle was $600
arps for the heads were $565
fire ring kit $500
= $5365
still need a dampner at $600
if my machinist charges $4000 I am going to be pissed

Well your parts choice and my parts choice are clearly not the same. And that's a steal on the pistons and rebuild kit. The same pistons from swamps are over $2k. Did you have a local machineshop do it?
