If you had factory forged pistons you could boost the hell out of it and be more worried about head gaskets than the engine.
I'm not gonna invest too much in this motor, as I am starting my 427 build-up next month, or in November. But . . . I didn't know it had hypereutetics in it . . . thanks for the info.
