Beefing up the short block for tt

BlkNismo · 01-07-2013, 12:25 PM

There are guys running even more power then your posted numbers on oem internals, but what conditon will it be in 5 or 10 years from now. Running high numbers for a few dyno runs is one thing, but putting that power down on a daily basis for extended time period may pose problems that could be prevented. I'd like to do it now rather then later since the engine will be out for the tt install.

I think you are reading into something that's not really there, go thru the forum and see how many people have had failure of their engine b/c of this not many at all,your consern was a question I ask Sam at GTM b/f I bought my kit he said these engine are good stock to about 550rwhp passed that your really pushing it.

That my point these engines are built very strong all you need is a good kit,a good install,and a good tune other than that drive the sh!t out of it.

My major concern is longevity. Can oem block continue to be reliable 5 or 10 years later. Only time will tell, we have only been fi'd at most for what, 3 or 3.5 years.
But yes, at the current time frame, the vhr has shown to be quite stout.

When I had mine on the dyno John did like 10 full runs back to back b/c there was something he was watching for I just stood there and watched and didn't sweat it at all.
