You learn something new everyday. How long will an LA small block hold up at 550 horsepower

If it's the same guy I'm thinking of, loose bearing clearances are worth hp, and reversing stock pistons must be worth 10-15 even though it won't show on the dyno. I wonder if it works even better on aftermarket pistons?

I think you know this but I’ll say for those that don’t.
I noticed every aftermarket piston (for high performance/racing)
has no offset.
Perhaps, it’s the extreme side of power hunting that the reverse piston shows something? IDK, I’m not going there and beating THAT dead horse covered very well in another thread. It was less than an amusing thread.

I Know a guy that ran a 408 stroker like 10 years without refreshing it. Just oil changes every year . The Engine was build by Dennis Maurer in Tempe Arizona . It was running on a 68 Barracuda , Super Street Car.
Mopar crankshaft , block bored with deck plates, Edelbrock heads, compression was like 10.5-11:1 . The Engine was running and it had a problem with the water pump motor and overheated , thats how it died .
