My Superformance car had a 635 H/P 418 in it and, frankly, it could be a bit of a handful.

The drag racers consistently saw the problem with the mains, usually up around 700H/P and above 6,800.

We still do a fair number for stock block engines, but it is moving toward aftermarket blocks....when we can get them. And that isn't now.
I can't get squat now. Just received 5 sets of custom pistons that I've had on order since April and every. single. set. had. something. wrong.
