Yes, many thoughts! lol The LA 360 cores are getting scarce, so we're making changes in the months to come. we've got alot on the table for engineering, but i'll make sure you guys are the first to know when we launch some higher hp, more forged content SB's. as for a cast crank, We safely run ours though about 450 HP. but that's an aftermarket, new crank. I can't speak for OE, or other MFG's. Everything we do needs to retain durability, and street manners. Hence the awesome warranty. We don't over-stress anything for that reason.
