That's 410rwhp/375rwtq with a TR3650. Should be plenty safe with a 6250rpm limit and a good tune.

pokes9won, I agree with Dino. When I first read your blog, the first RPM numbers to come into my mind were 6200-6500. I would stay with DINOs 6250 and enjoy the performance.

Thanks to everyone who replied to my questions everyone was very helpful, I am hoping to have about 425rwhp/390rwtg with the long tube headers and full exhaust, also run about 9psi with the rev set at 6250 and a good safe tune. Any thoughts on this will this be safe for my setup?

pokes9won, Deno and me are seasoned racers. We can tell by "seat of the pants" what the correct combinations are for our cars ,almost immediately. Since I am "old school" I would suggest starting out at 6 psi@5800rpm and check my 60 footer times, and quarter mile ETs, at the race track, to get a exact idea of what your combo likes best. I would not exceed 9 psi @ 6250 for messing around on the street. Your engine could possibly handle a few more pounds of boost, and a few more RPMs, but I would not go there unless there was money on the pass.
Remember, I do not endorse street racing.

He he, I wouldn't call myself a seasoned racer by any stretch of the imagination.
I suggested a somewhat conservative 6250rpm rev limit 'cause the combination of boost and rpm could break the stock connecting rods. If the engine was N/A, they'd survive 7000rpm without any problem.
BTW, 425rwhp/390rwtq is achievable with a mere 7psi if you have LT headers and exhaust. At 9psi you could be at 465rwhp which is pushing the limit for the stock connecting rods, with practically no margin for error in the tune.

Dino, I agree. We are both on the same page.

Thanks everyone once again!!! I will take your advise and go with 7psi, rev limiter at 6250 and a good safe tune. My car is for the street only and I do drive it like it should be driven when I am behind the wheel mainly weekends LOL.... Will this setup up be plenty safe but good performance for me????

Dino Dino Bambino

Safe, yes.
Good performance? Initially yes until you get hooked on it and want more. Like a drug, it becomes addictive.
