This just came to my mind what do I do if I have a boost leak through throttle seal? Do I simply replace them? Or how does that work/what should I do?

pushing past 400 ft/lbs is a little risky with stock rods. i would rather to play it safe.

last thing you want is a massive hole on the side of your block :S

That's only an issue if it's leaking while the throttle is open. You won't lose any power if it only happens while closed and you idle fine.

Now my question is this, I'm looking to get 350 to 360 to the wheels. What else do I need to add or even take off to reach that goal? This is also my daily driving car so I'm not trying to go to crazy. Thank you very much in advance.
Have the car turned and then dyno'd on a DJ on cool day.

no 93 in cali. highest i seen is 91. anyway, tune is most important so take it to a shop that knows what they're doing. as far as mods go everyone here pretty much hit the nail on the head. add a licp, make sure you can control boost, and you should be good. 9's respond well to simple boltons and a tune.

you can do dual tunes on the stock ecu, so you'll be good there. I didnt personally do it because theres so much e-85 here in minnesota

and ive always heard from my tuners who run a mustang dyno and dyno dynamics (which read lower than the dynojet) that the evo stock block is safe til about 450whp and thats when things get a little dicy. but to each there own, thats why i stopped at 425whp and mine runs like it did stock, its awesome

and as far as tq i've heard 450tq is where **** starts breaking on the drivetrain fairly easily so i figured keep it a little lower and we'll be good, if it breaks i'll deal with it, but why push it?
