parish - my comment was really not directed at you or the build, wasn't my intent to say the drop ins had anything to do with the failure either. It just that it didn't live long enough of a life to say the drop ins were a success or not.

Vengeance and GPI have both changed their parts on their drop in kits from when they were first released to what they are offering today, so it makes you wonder what really is the right setup or not.

Thus far myself - I am going to probably go with a set of Manley H beams and the standard 4.065, 11.7:1 Wiseco forged piston and just have it all balanced on the factory crank.Its just odd that one can't find the factory LT1 weights for the rods / pistons and crank bob weight.
