FP Black????
I agree with murlo, go black or 35r will be safer. The red torque hit down low is so damn high.... murlo can attest to what can happen with that kinda torque.
Hearing that Robert hasn't gotten the part to your is curious, as he told me I could have one in my hands by end of June.. now I have to go by and talk to him in person. Didn't want to be the guinea pig, but I guess I will be...

aah ok I didn't know he was already working on yours. I thought you were just giving up on it. Wonder what the delay is :-(
actually its good for me, I have to close on our new house before I can do the work anyway :-)
I'm just hoping this won't make me destroy my rear diff.
What all will I need to add to my motor? I'll already be doing cams, valvesprings, and retainers. I figure I'll do headstuds as well. Does anything else seem necessary?

For a black? Yep, Rods/Pistons.
Unofficial limit for stock bottom end is 450whp, or so I hear....Anything more than that and you are playing with fire!

Blah. I think putting a number on what the stock bottom can handle is nonsense. People have made over 600awhp on stock blocks. It's all in the tuning... timing specifically.
The only thing that might be common from one motor to the next is the point at which the headstuds can't hold on anymore.

This is the first I've heard of the stock headstuds failing. How common is this?
Also, what is your experience with timing casuing rod failures? Maybe from to much TQ at lower Rpms?
It's not whp it wtq that causes issues.
Smaller stock frames are more dangerous on a stock motor because they have so much torque down low and the rods just can't handle it.
I would feel safer with a laggier black than a red or green on a stock motor.

I wish people would realize that engines just make Torque. HP is a number we made up to compare one engine to another. HP is a way to tell how much actual work we can get out of something after we change gear ratio's around to fit.
Torque is what accelerates the car. Torque is what blows an engine up. Torque is what ruins clutches.
