its not necessarily making power but being to withstand it. its more of a clamping force rather than a push down force by the bolt. So for the heads if your boost or nitrous it will ALMOST elimate the chance of lifting a head. same for the bottom of the block

Single Turbo here on E85, Right at 1000 HP Buy one already done is the the least expensive way. Mine cost me the cost of the parts alone.

I've taken a shot at this before. First my FC rx7....still have it, motors gone. T2 car and hooks good with minor suspension tuning and diff welding. SBC, CSU blowthru, s480 car. I hated it. It was more fun with nitrous 350's and a six speed.
Next is my Fox Coupe. Forged ls6, BW turbo, 4l80e,...not done tuning, but by far lighter and better than the FC. Loads cheaper to build because everybody and their mama has parts on Craigslist for one. Here in Houston they are cheap too.
And then there is my current C5z. Forged LS6, Procharger D1 overspun and all the gizmos. What can I say....It's a centri blower car. Runs perfect and has never broke down. It's dead nuts reliable power.

I commented with this because these three cars have been mentioned in this thread and I have all three. BUILD THE TURBO FOX if you want big cheap power. If you want pretty big power....800ish....and be realiable, .build a CentriFox and be done with it.....LOL
