tell your friend that $50 says that a properly tuned 4-bolt can put down upwards of 800whp on stock internals. granted, you "might" have to run e85 to do it...but it's doable.

The only problem with this is that E85 is scarce here and we only have one filling station around here. I believe that station stopped carrying it also. I'll have to do the meth injection route to get around that i believe

He thinks that if i put 19t turbos on that my motor will blow.

I tried explaining that the limits of the 2 bolts were around 500 hp and the 4 bolts were 700 hp i believe. He also thinks that at that power level, a stock timing belt would pop. I tried telling him no matter what hp level your car is at, whether at 100hp or 1000hp, your timing belt spins the same speeds. His dad which is supposed to be a mechanic agrees with him.

Please only chime in if you know for sure, dont chime in if you just think you know. I would like some of the shops who have actually taken the cars to the limits to chime in for me.

Thanks,
Benn

Remember, never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience. :lo5l:

I think Chris was almost at 800hp on a 2 bolt but I think he might of had 3sx rods.

Timing belt would pop :lol: that's great stuff!
