it really depends a lot on the tune.
There's 400 WHP boosted D's out there on stock sleeves but who knows for how long. That owner has to have a good tuner for sure. Also stick to quality parts that are less prone to fail (which it looks like you're doing so far with J&E and Eagle) :thumb:

- Mon Apr 27, 2009 4:08 pm #113475 shouldn't have any troubles seeing a good 4-500hp so long as your motor is built, and built right and tuned right. to see numbers like that you're gonna need top of the line stuff all the way through and your gonna have to be fanatical about the tolerances in the motor. never skimp on products like your fluids, and change them every 3-4000 kms . etc etc..

as in my sig...

fast
cheap
reliable

pick two, you can't have all 3.
