[QUOTE="Mike@Livernois, post: 6138834, member: 42327"] Thanks for referencing the article hemislayer99. We wanted an editorial that better illustrated the differences in both parts quality and prep work that goes into one of our engines. We have spent a considerable amount of time developing our own parts. During our own testing, we found that off the shelf parts worked okay in most cases but had a lot of drawbacks. Based on this we decided that the only way to really have a nice total package was to work with top notch compaines like Mahle, Manley, Kellogg, Clevite, etc. to design parts around the entire engine package. Each and every part was carefully evaluated and tested to make sure we had the optimum package. We spent over 6 months alone testing piston design changes. While the parts like the pistons and rods may resemble other standard looking parts, there are many small changes throughout that really make big differences. As listed before, a properly built engine should easily handle the power that its rated too. The stock shortblock is a time bomb at HP levels higher than 450. The rod is pretty much guranteed to snap and in some cases this will take the block with it as well as possibly the head. If you are planning on adding a power adder its wise to upgrade first and will be cheaper in the long run. The Video below will walk you through a modular engine build at Livernois Motorsports.
