Jonezy races his car at Milan dragway quite frequently and it has not blown up yet. a well maintained and well tuned 7M can handle 450 rwhp day in and day out.

aside from the stock HG, the pistons are the weakest link, plain and simple. there are several people who have made some big power on stock short blocks, sans pistons. the short block that im having the prepwork done right now will hold 800 HP w/o a hitch. stock rods and crank. JE pistons, pins and rings. theres other things going on in there too, but the point is, itll handle more power than most people will bother shooting for.

the 7M is quite a good motor if you get past its nuances and dont shit-can it because you have a short attention span or are a big fan of band wagons. every engine has its short comings, even the 2J... right Mark?
