        I've got to ask what are you plans for getting 1000bhp??? I recon if by some miracle you got there you'd be replacing the engine every week!

          thank you for you nice comments people, feels good to know i have people backing me.
          mgt16: i can understand your doubts about 1000 bhp+ but it can 100000000% be done and i am going to prove it. the engine block can take it but it will be braced for some reliability, billet custom crank, custom billet h beam con-rods and forged alloy custom pistons + a whole lot more... all will be reveled soon
          thanks for your interest, Jake.
