Default Can I say 500whp is Safe?

Here is the Gist. Car has the inlinepro stage 2 street kit. BW 366. .91 A/R let me cut to the chase. Car is getting tuned at AMS I want to make this wait worth wild because she has been down for 3 months. I want to get as much power as I can with it still being safe for a summer cruiser. 425-450whp is my ultimate goal, but if I can push it near 500whp and not really have to worry about anything I will. Ill ask the tuner to what he feels is safe as well. But I also wanted input from the guys that have done it. The car is all stocl. Ap2 with 24,000miles. Is anyone pushing or have knowlegde of what the cars capable of?

I have a daily so this wouldn't be driven everyday, and I only driver her from May - November and I do not drive her everyday. And when I do take it out I don't beat the piss out of it. I give it pulls here and there only from 2nd gear and up will I do WOT. Any input would be GREAT

Left out the most important fact. What kind of fuel? Lots of high power cars on here. Joeyballs, passman, and many others are up and over 600. Go as high as the fuel will allow, then lower it to where your comfortable. 450 feels fast to me, 600+ has got to be INSANE!

I'd stick to about 450whp-475. You have to factor in your trans and rear end stress points as well.

Whatever 14 psi will give you power wise on 93 is about the limit. Are you getting tuned at AMS in the Chicago area? If you live in the Midwest there is ample E85 around. That is what I run in the Chicago area but you will need bigger injectors and a better fuel pump than a Walbro 255

That is true I totally forgot about that. I aim towards 475/

Hey that is 3 more PSI than I thought the car could handle! Yup Chris Black, The pumps I go to I never see any. The only one I know off the top of my head is 15 miles away from my house. I have ID 1000cc injectors and an aeromotive fuelpump 340 stealth fuel pump.

I wanted to limit boost in 1st so going in to second was easy. I thought as long as I was in second gear I could go WOT.

Many have blown second gear at the 450-500 whp range. Limit in second and go all out in 3rd.
