Damn man I envy you. How much did that kit set ya back ?

Placing it on the stock engine?

 

[EvasiveSVT]

I've hear from a lot of guys , local stang buffs, that our stock engines can handle high 400/ low 500 all day long. I dunno what to make of that though. That is prob the only thing holding me back from going F/I.

All depends on the tune and supporting mods. If the tune is off it could cause the motor to go. I ran 14PSI (569rwhp and 483rwtq) on my D1sc setup for about 9 months with not one problem, but i have read about some people blowing the motor with only mid 400rwhp.

That's going to depend on if the engine is tired, how good the tune is, how well heat is extracted from the cylinders etc.

On a turbo setup that isn't taking nearly as much power to run I could see making upper 400rwhp range pretty decently. Just need to make sure all ducks are in a row. Anything you can do to get heat out of the engine will help.

Dude you can always find someone that will pass your car. Here in los angeles I knew a few places that will pass you for a small fee.

i'm not worried about that, i'm worried about being popped on the road by a cop and made to go to a referee station. those guys cannot be bought.

the kit is designed for your average street car.. it comes set at 8 psi.. with the supporting mods.

If you have a lead foot then your engine longetivity dimisnishes like anything else...
