Default 150 shot safe?

Would a 150hp shot be safe with the below mods with 76k miles? My stock engine has forged crank and cast pistons and rods. Or should i do a 125 or 100 shot?

The main thing you need to consider when you juice a motor is having a safe tune.I would say a 150 would be fine if you had a good tune and if not i would not go over a 100 pill.

Um, I would say 100-125 tops, even with a good tune. Your crank is not the weak point, your rods are.

Would the 150 shot put him over 400 RWHP? If not, I'd do it with a good tune. 400 RWHP is the magical number I use for cast pistons and rods and a good tune. With a bad tune, you can blow your engine with far less.
