If it were me I'd build the block and go with a stage 3 and shoot for some good numbers. Look at Mr. Squeeze build and u can do similar. Built motor will hold up fine.

The basic fuel system that comes with GTM kit is at a safe max around 580whp. Sure it can go a bit further but why push it. The stage 2 turbos max around 620whp right?
My goals are actually around 525whp. My reasons for the short block build is not for higher numbers, but for ultimate engine longevity. I hope to keep the car for 10+ years.
I have read Mr. Squeeze build up, quite impressive. It sort of makes a build up for stage 2 hp levels not seem needed, but as I mentioned before, I want a sort of speak "bulletproof" engine to last the test of time with daily driven exposure.
