[QUOTE="19COBRA93, post: 4928852, member: 10462"] Your shortblock is fine. It's your head gaskets I'd worry about. Either way, don't let it detonate, and no long freeway burns and you should be fine. The stock pistons can take a lot of power, but they can't take any abuse (detonation). I really pushed the stock long block in one of my last cars and was reasonably successful. I made 520 rwh and went 10.8 in the quarter. This was at about 17 psi with meth injection (never had any problems with it). I did end up burning piston #8, but that was a timing issue. After some forged pistons, ARPs and an F-cam I made 622 rwh at 21 lbs and went 10.55@133. Everything else still stock, on 91 pump with meth. It's smart of you to keep checking a/f on the dyno, but you should invest in a wideband gauge. The AEM is about $250 and well worth it. [/QUOTE]
