dont go over 400 and you will be fine.........for a while. If you are putting FI in your car you might as well go forged as the engine will be out of the car already. Unless you are gumby.

I kid...-400 whp is safer, but there are always chances with F/I

personally, I'd be happy with 350whp on stock internals.

Well, It's fine to say "go forged", and while your at it get it stroked, If you have goobs of money laying around. Removing the engine is only small part of the price of installing forged internals

LOL thanks for the vids, I saw it long time ago

thanks for the answers, I don't think I will go n/a over that much but now I will probably wait a little bit before going fi, so I try to be forged first, thanks again...
