Sure beats spending 30k for a FWD dyno queen. 
Hell he just spent that on a-whole-nother car. 
Ditto! What he said.
Basically if I blow it I'll drive my Volvo S40 while I build another motor.
I have enough confidence in the stock parts to try pushing towards the 400 wHP mark. Hell, I'm ALREADY at about 330 ft-lbs of torque!!!! Do you understand the significance of that?
If I just hold that same level of torque up to 6500 rpm I'll be pulling OVER 400 wHP!
What better test do you want?
If I pull 350 ft-lbs, definitely doable, and then hold it till 6200 rpm then it will be like 412 wHP.
So the evidence is pointing in my favor as it is.
Would I like forged pistons? Yes.
Can I afford it? Yes, with some squeezing and much whining!
BUT, my curiosity is a bit more powerful and I'm willing to risk grenading the motor to find out a little more. Hell, I was the first that I know of to post a 300 wHP dyno, the first to take the stock rods past that point and currently hold the "stock" bottom end records.

PShhh....Not ME!
In current tune we both have similar power right? However, I own your azz in torque. ( that could be the downfall because of traction though)

What, you got something against racing on a Tuesday?  How about Saturday, August 13 instead? Rick

Back on subject gentlemen ...
I found a part was listed incorrectly and I have ordered the correct bolts and returned the incorrect bolts. So, please disregard my previous post and instead, use the numbers & quantities from below.
One thing to note ... the non TTY bolts in question throughout this thread are $5.08 each, so I would highly recommend that they be reused if you feel safe doing so!!
Warning to those that need to order these bolts/studs for a machine shop visit ... they are very costly for bolts/studs. I decided to replace ALL the bolts in the girdle (including non-TTY) to be on the safe side.Cost (25% off list price) & part numbers:
Studs/Bolts
Qty 4 YL8Z-6345-AA = $4.97 each (9-10-11-12 in diagram)
Qty 4 YL8Z-6345-BA = $5.87 each (5-6-7-8 in diagram)
Qty 4 F5RZ-6345-D = $3.57 each (13-14-15-16 in diagram)
Qty 5 F5RZ-6345-C = $2.57 each (1-2-3-4-17 in diagram)
Qty 5 F5RZ-6345-E = $5.08 each (18-19-20-21-22 in diagram) - sold in package of 2
Nuts (hold windage tray/oil pickup tube in place)
If you have an 01+ block already, these nuts can be reused!
Qty 4 W701542S309 = $5.05 each - (sold in packs of 6)
Qty 4 W701582S309 = $1.13 each
You do the math ... expensive proposition to replace the main crank bearings.
