What's the most "Recommended" HP you can have on stock internals without messing stuff up! (this is also my daily driver). im looking at the Fp Red wanting to be at about 400-450awhp. I know i need to bump up fuel but i mean on stock motor and how long it will last!!!!!!

 

It's relative to torque not hp. That being said 400 ft lbs (dynojet) is the normal safe continuous limit.

I have had my car make 434/400 on a stock turbo, 574/400 on a 3586, customer cars that have done similar as well. 450 on a red will normally leave the torque somewhere in the mid to high 3s which should be plenty safe.

 

My red made 490 hp 450 tq on a mustang dyno and i was dd it for awhile.

 

i push 604awhp through my evo 9 and 446awhp on my evo 8 with fp red

 

604 stock block

 

yea dont be like that guy above as John stated a normal person will not want more then 400-420tq on stock bottom end. Now have people done more of course but those people are aware if they blow there block then they have the funds to get it built soon. If your managing your money and cant afford to fort out 3100+labor i suggust you keep tq to 400 or lower.

 

^ true if its your daily drive stick to 400-450

 

sorry to go off topic somewhat but if you get new rods and pistons do you need to really get the engine balanced even if you only bore your block .020 over? sorry to hijack ,,,really

 

hp is not the issue. its TQ

 

John how the hell did u get that much hp on a stock turbo???? What mods u got done???
