393w/408w budget build results???

[mwood]

Please tell me about your budget 393 or 408 windsor build results. Give a brief description, hp made, highest rpms, and how long it has lasted. In the description, include notes about the internals/bottom end.

I'm considering a build and want to understand if all the extra money for a better kit is worth it.

Thanks
