Trust me... tuning it will make a huge difference across the board.
Even if it did make 315 at power peak, the engine will drive like a$$ on the street if the AFR/Spark tables arent plotted to match because the entire remainder of RPM band wont be optimized and thus provide poor acceleration up to the peak RPM. Off the dyno and in the real world its all about the area under the curve. Broadest curve wins even if the motor is rated for less peak hp.

Titan... well theres a reason a just built my second stroker after the first only lasted 2000 miles. :-(

Ditto on the Titan and I built my first one using a kit. Cam wiped at 2k miles because their head had seat pressures at >135#. No refund, no recourse rebuilt entire engine again at my cost, wiped the bearings, oil pump, crank, rings, etc. Had to polish and re-hone and start over. The parts I eventually got from 505 appeared to be solid (rods/pistons) but the head work was dirty and appeared rushed and unfinished, aside from losing all my stuff in shipping, having pistons show up destroyed, and all sorts of @#$%^&*.
