it will no longer be stock....

injectors, fuel pump, clutch (flywheel while your at it), single turbo, manifold, wastegate, downpipe, ecu, intercooler, etc. etc. etc.

I don't recommend running 380 or especially 450 RWHP on a stock motor. The highest I ever ran on the stock motor was 405 at 22 psi. Even that was pushing it! To do it safely port the motor first. That way it will last longer and you can run more boost.

Yeah! With the right fuel and tuning you can easily achieve 380 or 450 RWHP safely.

Sure you can! Why don't you go with the Haltech E6K? You can get more horsepower out of it, than the Power FC!

I was thinking of the haltech, but i like the plug and play of the power fc. If I ever get really serious about this car I would go for a complete stand alone.
How much boost can I run safely, with proper tuning?

Depends, is it daily driven or mostly at the track? On my car I run anywhere from 15 to 25 psi. But my profec-B is set mostly on low boost, which is around 17 psi. Thats plenty of power for me. But keep in mind I drive it on the streets.

my car is an everyday car. I do go to the track about once a week. If I can drive it on the steet with 15 psi and not explode I'll be a happy camper. I was just wondering about raising the boost at the track to like 17 psi.

Thanks for the input!
