depends on ur numbers... tranny might not be too happy. get a transmission cooler to help a little bit, but youre gonna have to build it at some point if you want that boost.

When you say "stock" do you mean stock short block or complete stock car. If you are referring to the car described in your sig I would say you should be ok. The long tubes and the intercooler will help a lot to preserve the engine. Transmission cooler will help a lot as well. Like it has been said before though, it's all in the tune.

i'm referring to stock shortblock. there's no guarentee any amount of power will be "fine". you see 05+ GTs running around with 500+RWHP with no problems with the norm being around 450-460. my stepdad's threw 2 rods at 408.

My friend who owns an 04 Mach1 threw a rod in his. I forget how much boost he was running though.

If you get a power pipe that will be even more boost
