Id stay away from 450rwhp. I think what your at now, is perfect until you do a shortblock swap. Then you can go to a 3.12 pulley or even a 2.87 and make a shit load of boost past 6000rpm no problem.

IMHO I would go over 420rwhp in mine..so about 440's in a 5 speed

Shaun03GT · June 25th, 2010, 06:59 PM

Yea its all on the person, if you feel okay doing that then do it. But I would nervous going WOT every time with 450rwhp+ Id rather make 400'ishrwhp and feel 100% confident in going WOT every time.

BIGSXY · June 26th, 2010, 11:53 AM

so genrally 400-425 to be safe

You can never feel 100% confident at 400rwhp. I feel confident because mine is at around 350rwhp, but if I was over 390rwhp it would always be at the back of my head that it may blow. Cars have blown up with 360rwhp, but others hold till 500rwhp. I think mid 300's is the very safe route.

i think my stock shortblock let go around 520-530 ish

600rwhp isnt too hard to reach and you dont want to do a block twice. you might wanna think bout goin a lil stronger

^ +1

I would say just buy a MMR Shortblock.

For a TT yes it is..I posted the TT HP kit and was comparing it to the TT Hellion kit..Not the single.
