I ran 18 psi on a stock bottom end minus some Speed-Pro -22cc Forged pistons, oh I did use ARP bolts on the rods too.

Answer to your question, Yes it will last, just make sure it's tuned properly.

 

Spend the extra dough on a new forged crank...if it's already apart, you might as well do it. A motor is only as strong as it's weakest component.

If it's already together, my stock rotating assembly handled a 150-shot of N20 on a motor that had only bolt-ons (and 88,000 miles) (P.S. The guy I bought it off of changed the oil every 5000 miles). I've heard if ur shooting for over 450hp, save urself the trouble and change it now. That could be wrong though...haven't chunked an LT1 yet *Knock on wood*

The Eagle H-Beams are rated for like 800 hp or something like that...they're in my 383. The guy who did the machining of my motor said they're one of the best "bang for the buck"

 

Has anyone ever wondered how far you could push the 2-bolt block? I mean, just really push it. What were the numbers before the BLOCK gave away and not the rods, crank or pistons. I have heard that some people have used studs (2-bolt) with forged crank, pistons and rods and pushed the 800 HP mark. You think this is true? You know any one who has?

Just a thought.

we're starting with a 2 bolt block...getting 4 bolt splayed mains and shooting for 1300+ Hp. at the crank...of course that will be aided by a PT-96 in the neighbor hood of 15+ PSI of boost......
