Ed, I hope you know that was a very tongue-in-cheek reply. We didn't even pull this one down below 4000 rpm. No need to.

Racer_X, no main cap girdle. It has ARP main studs in the bottom end, a Superlight Scat crank that I bought for $350, and a set of Molnar 6.400" SBC rods.

I just pulled the heads and intake off so that they can be ported. I pulled the pan too, the coating had come off of my new Milodon pan with just a shop towel....

While the pan was off, I checked a few bearings. The main bearings still had my mic tracks on them. The rod bearings looked like they had just come out of the box. That was with 14-15 pulls at 8500 rpm and a standard volume/standard pressure oil pump. At 8500 rpm, we were still seeing almost 70 psi of pressure at the rear of the block.
