500whp stock block club
i would have to say though, those high HP dyno graphs you have there are pretty retarded. especially the first one. that is the most horrible turbo lag i have ever seen on a car. from the looks of it, it doesn't ever make peak torque. i mean, it would just be stupid to drive because once it hits full boost you are shifting again. as far as drivability is concerned, i would much rather stick with something that makes decent power with a much broader torque curve. for instance, i may be making only 310 hp at the wheels, but i make peak torque before those guys even start the dyno pull. i have 1.5bar boost before 3000 rpm. who is going to win on a tight street course, certainly not any of those cars.

!!That will be my goal when I have EVO!!

Looks like I will be joining this club.. Probably closer to 600whp, I intentionally left the bottom end completely stock, along with the head studs and other components..
I suspect the failure at those levels are due to fatigue and problems, durability of this engine is without question the best I've ever experienced.. But a bad tune or a bad tank of gas is where you have to be concerned.. I think the stock engine can withstand well over 600whp just not hitting that constantly..

For those of you who have doubt on how long a 500 plus HP stock block will last well my car is a daily driver and still going. Props to all those that have made it to the 500 WHP Club!!!!!
MY Mods: DNP Header, AEM EMS, AEM CD2I Ignition, Single coil system, 3" downpipe & Exhaust, Tial 40 mm Waste Gate, SMC Alcohal Injection, Exedy Twin Disc, RC 1000cc Injectors, 272 HKS Cams, Fidanza Cam Gears, Turbo ?
These numbers where on 93 Octane with alcoha injection on 29 PSI. See the graph it says it all.

Every time at the track I run mine to 9k presumably at over 500whp. This is with a completely stock bottom end with the stock head. Amazing.
