Default Power limit ? Boost limit?

With an unopened motor (stock headbolts) / (stock hg.)
What is my boost limit on race gas. I want to run something like q16
I plan to upgrade the springs and retainers with a tool that lets you do it without opening the motor. Thanks a bunch in advance

I ran 600 hp on stock bolts that was at 30 psi. That was when I was an innovator and was also using stock valves, hence I have a built motor now and everyone runs aftermarket valves/springs/retainers lol.

There are too many factors to give an answer to your question.

Oh absolutely.


The differences between 93 and Q16 are VERY substantial.


IMO going from 425 to 475 isn't worth the cost of q16.

Turn it up and make some real power!!! Q16 is no joke, just $$$$$$$$$$$$

Way too many variables to answer this honestly. Look at Geo's car. He beat the Hell out of it, had a good setup, good tune and good fuel. That will give you an idea.

As long as 500 isn't too high then I'm good.
