thank you for the help. what shot are you hitting your 454 with? i figured a 200 would be a safe bet, while being large enough to be worth it. yea, it would live forever with a 100 shot, but why waste my time ya know... do you feel that with some C16 or even Q16 that it could take a 300 shot. i know that there are differences in forgings, and im not sure exactly how strong the factory parts are.
thanks again
