forged short-block, what did you guys do?

Update from post #19, back in 18'. Ha ha

Once power got to the point of making me question the strength of my Aluminator, I started saving/planning for it's replacement. I got wind of the Gen 2 and then Gen 3, 5.2 block being a measurable amount stronger than the 5.0 block, so I went that route. I'm weary of sleeves for street use and this was the substitute I was looking for. My new build (Winter 19'/20') has 1500 mils on it now and I'm closing in on a dyno date. Here's the new combo:

Gen 3, 5.2 block
Boss crank
Manley H Tuff rods
Manley Extreme Platinum Duty pistons (11.3:1)
Gen 2 heads (ported/valves ect by Airflow Solutions)
Boss 302 cams
I upgraded headers/over axles at the same time.

Drives and behaves as smooth the Aluminator and stock engine before it.

Sounds like a cool setup. What is the new goal for the new motor?

Now when people say boss cams, which ones do they mean. I ask because when you look at ford racing, they give different part numbers from the ones Tasca gives you & much more pricier.
