your problem is going to be using 400hp, not getting it built to reliably provide that. Same problem I have with 600whp, between the torque steer and 4 wheels slipping in 3rd gear even it can be alot to handle.

Lol true that I can run 430whp on stock internals got to love factory forged, but I'm shooting for 350whp so we will see

having a racing built engine is alot of work if its going to be your daily driver. I have to wait for my forged pistons to warm up, otherwise they rattle like a beebee in a box car. Not to mention it stalls so easy when its cold, you have to rev it to 2000 to take off in first.

I'm factory forged and I don't have any of those issues and it's my dd now lol, but I only have like maybe 260whp now so yea I'm going with remaned stock rods with arp bolts and weisco pistons cast iron head and block forged crank, idk it's just a completely different beast compared to your badass evo

i know your "factory forged" but most pistons are cast. My stock pistons were cast before the 1000 mile mark when my forged hks ones went in. Cast pistons don't expand as much as forged ones.
