you can hit 550whp safe with a built block. stock block won't be able to handle that much power even with a headgasket

 

my stock block did that before. it ran fine for 4k miles until i wanted more power...

 

so you're saying that the stock block is capable of doing 550whp safe with just a headgasket. i'm sorry but that's asking for trouble. the max you should go on a stock block is 500whp

 

it's all about the tuning. and maybe he had some other stuff done to increase power besides just upping the boost.

 

Well a stock block z good for 400whp range stock block. But i was going for built block that can take 700whp/wtq+ but like i said can cost more than 20k done right. my goal was like 450-550 so a 400whp s2000 should be a good race then? I'll tell you what i love both car and would be happy with both.

 

tuning is crucial but still you will have a good chance to blow that engine. You can run 600whp if you want. but the engine won't last long

 

tuning is very important. dont be surprised if your motor blow even if you dont drive it hard daily

 

Do you like repeating batikan almost word for word?

 

LOL...

actually he was saying you can run 550whp safe when I said it won't be near safe. I din't know why he changed his mind

 

lol i had to run around and when i came back and click post, batikan already posted.

basically, there is no safe limit but i would say 550 or less will be the safer side. once you past that, it will blow very quicly
