That's what I would like to know. I'm no expert in rebuilding engines, but a 20 over bore and better parts isn't gonna give you 300 extra hp I wouldn't think.

no defiantly not in order to more than double the hp youd need every bolton and probably some boost

"Engines come with hypereutectic pistons and total seal rings. Optional forged and coated JE pistons are made from 2618 alloy with 52 series pins making them superior to the 4032 alloy Diamond pistons common in our market. Forged pistons recommended for builds over 500HP".
They're not saying their engine comes with 500 hp. They're just recommending forged pistons for a build (after the fact) that's going to push it over 500hp (yes, that would have to require some form of boost).
