that question will get mixed results.i know some people on here has made upwards of 600 rw, but how long they last is a hit or miss.

I would like it to be reliable and not pushing the stock internals to their limits for failure.Thanks for the reply.

Also the year of the motor makes a difference, the 01 & 02's had stronger rods bolts. I just put ARP rod bolts in mine with my MS4 and I feel reasonably confident that it will hold together. enough that I plan to spray the motor just not sure how much yet

My motor dynos currently 576/590 on the stock bottom end and I'm looking for 620ish by the end of summer. How long it will stay together is another question...

It seems we all want the best of both world's reliablity and horsepower!
