I'm going to test the limits soon of a stock block 440 w/ a stock crank and caps, ARP bolts. The motor is in the 680-700 hp range. Once I get it dialed in N/A, I'll turn on the plate. Hey Chip Stock crank and main caps on a 700 hp piece? Plus nitrous? You, yourself, magged my crank at the 600 hp level and said it looked like cracked crystal. And you have to know that the main caps won't live at that power level with spray. Don't you think a set of aluminum caps should be added? We've all seen pics of those #4 caps. Yep, it will be tough on it I'm sure, but it's gonna happen. Some people have luck with them living...guess we'll see how this one does.
