im running 460+ rwhp on a 150 shot and full bolt on's, so at the crank thats already 500 plus hp, iv been running this setup for about 4 months (20-30 bottle fills) and no problems at all.
Go for the paxton kit everything will be fine just stay on top of the oil changes and other service.

Well its all on the tune and how you drive the car. I talked to Dave, brent and seth for a few monts before i got my kit and they have not reported any problems with the kit cann tune from them. The shop where i have my work done hasa few197's with vortech's and procharger kits with stock motors over 530rwhp. The tuner at the shop along with the mechanic's siad they are waiting for them to blow. All the members that have the paxton kit from what i have seen are 420+RWHP.
