I hate to break this to ya bud, but the stock pistons in the '01+ engines will also hold 400 HP.
But that's only if you tune the engine right and have an intercooler.

Well yes it has been proven to take that but why balance the crank to a factory piston? Pay 300 for nothing unless he was going to change something. The motor comes balanced enough for stock internals right?

Uh, and your point is???/
The factory rods and pistons can easily withstand 330-350 ft-lbs of torque. I've already done that. IF the rpm range is stock, calculate what 330 ft-lbs of torque will be at 6500 rpm?
EXACTLY!! 
As far as balancing, it is perfectly ok and sometimes worth the money to get a factory setup fully balanced. Not everything comes right(correct) from the factory....as is evidenced by some motors spinng smoother than others from the day the roll off the assembly line. I wouldn't do it unless I was updating the motor and felt that it was a bit too harsh when revving.
So you are correct. Why waste the money? I wouldn't.

Are you in MI?! You can come by and work on mine. I have a propane heater and my garage isn't too bad either.  Once I get back from CO on the 23rd...I will do the X MAS thing and jump back into the 3L on the 26th.

Actually it hasn't been hijacked, the poster is the one that changed it over to garage pictures and discussions of his work in his garage. So I'd say his thread is....under new leadership direction.
