haha, a motor doesn't have a certain "level" of hp that it can handle. People have blown cars makin around 420-430 and use them as d.d.'s and they'll last, while others will blow up around 360 hp like mine did. It all depends on the motor, the rpms it turns, and how often it is beaten on. I went through 15 lbs of n2o a week with a 100 for about 7-8 months. When it let go, it wasn't even due to the n2o, it was the oil pump.

Dude its common knowledge that the stock 2v is safe for right around 400rwhp, that is all i am trying to stress.

nice set of cars you got there. wow 150 shot i figured that would send the 2v motor packin. what do your hp/tq look like?

Thanks.

The GT ran a 358rwhp/444rwtq on a Dyno dynamics. It is the wifes DD from May-Oct. so it has to be running right.

impressive #'s. makes for a nice sleeper

Sure does. Especially with the sweet little wife behind the wheel. Then a quick purge and bang she is gone. LOL, caught quite a few people off guard.

So when are you getting your shot of gas!

I've had 160 shot Noszle kit on mine for awhile....Roughly 400/520 on a dynojet....Only shooting 2nd gear on until I get a built rear....But my Tremec3650 absolutely hates the torque, its days are numbered....
