How much power do you think is safe on stock internals?

In my draw. Believe me they are not worth posting, the best time I could muster up was a 13.3 @ 119. Track prep was horrible, I had bald tires,

In my draw. Believe me they are not worth posting, the best time I could muster up was a 13.3 @ 119. Track prep was horrible, I had bald tires, and had massive wheel hop 1st and 2nd gear. Only did 89mph in the 1/8 and picked up another 30mph on the 2nd half of the track.

You should take it out again with some better tires and maybe a better track

From sheer overpower? With a perfect tune?

Who knows? It won't be known until someone breaks a piston.

I thought they were forged and pretty meaty --- incorrect?

How thick are the ringlands on our pistons? With enough power, the rings themselves could fail too.

Oh this thread is funny.

Can't wait to get my FI done on my Z. I will be going stock internals and shooting for 450-500 whp, I don't care if it blows lol and I am on 7AT.

We will see if all the naysayers are correct or not.

Cars been pushing 500+whp for just about 20k miles. No major issues. Not my daily driver, I don't beat the **** out of it but I don't baby it either. It's being used and maintained properly and she's been good to me
