ok, gotcha. I totally agree you can't judge an engine based solely on one part. I just get a feeling of a little more security knowing there a forged bottom end in my car, however I know one leaking injector left to sit over night or going to 1st instead of 3rd will make quick work of any engine lol
On a side note I'm glad to see this discussion and would like a couple vendors/race teams chime in on their thoughts
