Seems like I've read that the cranks easily can take 600Hp, albeit normally aspirated. I imagine the stock hypereutectic pistons are the limiting factor on boost. Even with those, adding a good tune and methanol seems to allow great power potential.

well since the last time i posted in this thread (page 1) i upped the boost to 15ish (the MAP maxed out) my boost guage was alittle past the 15 line so i'm going to say 15. stock engine with 317 heads on ARP head studs with a TC76F1. not bad for a badyard buildup with AC to boot

Mine stayed together so far. I just put in the eboost2 this weekend and it's been nice and rainy. I'll be upping it to 10lbs, just gotta figure the damn eboost out.
