Hey guys just thought I would update. I talked to Ron today and he said the gaskets were still on the back burner. He didn't totally come out and say it but he did say he have some stuff on the engine and I think they are kinda closer than he says. He mentioned with the precup, it was a bit harder to make a wire-ring gasket but he did say that he needed to do more testing. That is what makes me think that they are closer that he admits.
I also mentioned to him that there has been a pretty big resurgence with the idi and he agreed. He said that he has noticed that more people are in the quest to make a bit of power out of them. I think that is a good thing that he knows that, cus that might help to push to get the gaskets done.
Also on a side note another thing that I asked was what he thought about the strength of a stock bottom end. He said that a stock bottom end, even with the NA rods would last easily with 300-400hp. He said it would be more toward 500hp that the stock internals would be a bit weak. He said at the power levels that quite a few of us are now aiming for, the bottom end will hold.
Back on topic please. 
BUMP
