We do, but there's a benefit with upgrading to stronger and especially lighter forged internals if one's willing to pay and take their build that far.

Are there lighter options? If so that's awesome. Lighter rotating drivetrain internals certainly can't hurt How much money is the "willing to pay" part?

I can't remember the weight of the springs. Its been a few years since i went through all that. But here is a second gear hit on the street.. you can see it hooks pretty good. Again this is only 8 psi.
Thanks! It does hook up pretty good on the street! I don't want to muck up this post with off topic, but would love to hear more about the combo, track times, etc. If you want to share, shoot me a PM!

Yeah much lighter on the wallet. People seem to forget these engine don't turn many rpm to begin with. You can get billet rods that are just as strong and just as light if not lighter but still hard on the pocket.

I hit 6870 on the dyno somehow. I actually make power until 6600 rpm before it falls off.
