WOW!! You couldn't be more wrong. You have it completely backwards. I would like to know where you got this info? And why you would be telling someone this? It's is NOT the power that will kill your motor it is the boost level. When you increase the boost level in an already high compression motor you are increasing the compression in the cylinders and you are increasing the heat generated at combustion. This will raise your exhaust gas temperature to an unbelievably unsafe level. You can make well over 500whp on this motor in stock trim as long as you keep your boost levels below 12-14psi, keep your AFRs safe and keep your EGTs down. PLEASE STOP posting bad info. This is the reason people laugh at this forum. If you do not know something please do not post info on it.
