A properly balanced engine will not put out any more power, but it will do it seriously more reliably. Forged is always the better part, no question. However, if you are not abusing the engine, I don't see the benefit. Then again, if you plan on holding on to this car for a long time, forged is a good investment. Think of it this way, balanced, forged components, then driven as a stock type car, the engine should almost last forever. Then again, the build has a lot to do with it. This is where "blueprinting" comes into play. I don't know how GM builds engines. However, room temperature, part temperature and such are very important to meeting tolerances. Blueprinting is when an engine is built as close to all mfg tolerances as posible. This, again, won't result in a lot of power, but it will result in a ton of duribility. |
