spdfrkaby said:Hey everyone, don't know too much about the lower end. I have a ProCharger P1SC and was wondering if I would be able to just change out the lower end with a forged crankshaft, upgraded pistons and upgraded h-beam rods. Would that be enough to make 500-550 hp or would I need to upgrade the whole shortblock. There's package deals for the rotating assemblies around $1400. Much cheaper than a short block. I'm noob in this area so please take it easy on my. Thanks.

What he said.DBMSTNG said:what you're not factoring in is labor. you do not want to assemble a shortblock by yourself unless you are very experienced in it. have a reputable shop do it. it sounds like the kit you are talking about for $1400 does not include bearings and piston rings. plus, you'll need to have the block honed .020" over on the bore to make the pistons fit and balance the whole thing.
a professionally built shortblock is going to cost around $3200 and be able to withstand much more than 550hp.
jimfitzgerald said:What he said.A professionally built shortblock will be worth the difference in price. You may also want to consider an aluminum block for weight reduction. That's what I did with my last build. Modular Powerhouse can assemble a nice shortblock for you.
In that case, definitely let Modular Powerhouse build you a shortblock. Do not buy a rotating assembly and take it to them for the install. MPH has suppliers and connections and can get everything you need and it will be better than any rotating assembly you can purchase from SHM or anywhere else.spdfrkaby said:Thanks for the input guys. I wasn't planning on doing the install myself, my luck I'd make it worse. I'm headed back home from Germany to Atlanta in a few months and I'm going to get everything done at ModularPowerhouse, i.e. charger, gears, axles, fuel pump, subframes and clutch and was maybe thinking about doing the rotating assembly while I'm there. I found some prices below that were pretty good. I hear nothing but good things from the companies. I know to stay away from CHP, not to many good feedbacks on them. Anyone have any idea on how much this would be to get installed?
