anything above about 500 RWHP will eventually blow out a stock bottom end. For that kind of horsepower, reliably, you'll need a forged bottom end plus some sort of Supercharged, Turbo intake, along with the rest of the mods described. Gotta open up the check book for that kind of horsepower.

Just curious- why do you want THAT much power? I can't fathom wanting more than 500rwhp for a street car, which can easily be achieved on a stock bottom end

600 rwhp is a ton of fun. 700 rwhp makes for a killer express way car (80-160 pulls).

how about 600??? i need this kind of power because a lot of cars around here have about 500 horsepower and my plan is to actually take it to the track..theres a few supercharged cobras and a ton of supra's with single turbos that i need to spank (ON THE TRACK so don't go crazzy)

would 600 be doable with stock internals???

I'm in the 600 rwhp club on a stock bottom end. You will need a very good tune and decent fuel. I started with a ProCharger and then moved on to turbos.

Cheers,

600 is too much for a stock bottom end... I wouldnt go over 450 rwhp on a stock bottom end and expect it to last long term.
