yeah pretty much anything over 400rwhp is a ticking time bomb....some last for a long time w/ that much power, but some can blow a week after getting it.....depends on the tune and how ya drive it i guess

There are plenty of folks running over 400rwhp with no issues, tune helps! 450rwhp is the max

dont go over 400 rwhp... i know this from first hand experience... even if your tune is dead on, its gonna pop eventually (*puts on flame suit*) if you plan on building the engine eventually, then by all means run 420rwhp it should last a while

There are people running well over 500rwhp/tq on a stock block. I think its in modularpowerhouse, just make sure the tuner knows their stuff.
