Are you asking me if you will be able to make that power with those mods? I would think that would'nt be a problem at all if you're running e85. On 91 that might be tricky to keep it safe
its up to User discretion. Its well known that over 400 tq can be a lot for the rods to handle. I think it really boils down to the tune and what fuel you are using. I've been running around 400ftlbs for 8 months now no issues. I have done 120min of hard track time along with 1 trip to the drag strip and lots of spirited driving on the street without any issues.
I know a few people who have damaged they're engines at less than 340ftlbs so I think it also depends on how you drive. Those guys who damaged they're engines screwed up one way or another so be careful either way.
BUt that being said I never launch the car except for that one day at the drag stip. Most failures I know of happened on failed launches

New tune as of today. Using my MAP based load calc talbles to keep my afr's at a good safe level up top without getting too lean. Basically now they follow my HOFM, almost spot on

Im told me EF3 and MAP 3.5" intake will be shipping in the next few days so I'm pretty excited
Do you have any VD graphs comparing stock turbo to the EF3? You and I (will)have similar mods and operate our vehicles in the same areas. Im going to primarily run 91 octane, but I may do an e85 tune as well

as for the E85, i'll probably do that as well for special occasions. Just wish the closest E85 source wasn't 25 miles from my house
Im hoping to break 400whp on 91. From what I've seen, I should be able to make my goal.
