It is still running in a different car with D port heads and a S400 turbo now, but hasn't been run much.
That's pretty impressive. More than 700 to the tires it would seem.

Close to what I've been able to gather when I had my 455 apart. At the very least it has a set of ARP rod bolts in it. I've never seen a true factory rod to compare so I can't tell if the rod's have been peened or not.
