70 340 HP handling ability.

So there is no way to get a 340 to handle the power potential of a Torquestorm plus? I see they advertise that model for 700hp. I was hoping to get in the 500 to 525 range on engine alone. I guess with 8 to 8.5 to 1 my hp would be reduced some. 450 + 40% is 630. A lot of guessing on the math but that puts me right there at th


Ok. Would I benefit from having the extra metal cut off the Milodon caps and use them as a HD 2 bolt kit or should I stick with the factory main caps? Then use the girdle? I want to get the 340 the best I can for this build. I can get a Ritter block down the road.


Yes. The Milodon cap is significant better than the factory cap. Cut the ears off and use them.

I’m not big on the girdle either. It just moves the flexing of the block and crank to other places. If the block is moving enough it needs a girdle, you need a better block.
