Looking for facts and answers?

So im ordering my new setup and want to know the highest reliable horsepower without balancing and clearancing. Looking for the facts here not guessing. I want guys that have pushed the limits(enzo, turbo r1, zero r, etc). Let me know the horsepower and how long youve been making it without issue. Reason for the question is that I cant decide weather to wait til i have more money or just install the turbo and hope for the best. I wouldnt push it to the max but do want 550-600RWHP. Let me know guys.

Balancing doesn't have anything to do with power output but more longevity at higher RPMs. If it's a drag or street car you can get away without balancing. As for clearancing, Many people have made in the 600 WHP range without clearancing. I would say if you looking for less than 650 HP don't sweat it.

I personally think with a quality build (qualiity parts used) and a good tune comes a long ways in engine longevity. Also with proper maint. I'd stick with 450hp for the street.
