Yes, it "can" be done. But done reliably and safely to the point we are comfortable with at this time, no.

I'll take that to mean you don't actually know why, but heard it from someone else.

The only issue I am aware of that would present a problem tuning is UpRev currently doesn't have control over the throttle enrichment maps which results in poor drivability due to flooding the engine when running too large of an injector (1000cc for example).

Aside from this, from a tuning standpoint I can't think of any technical reason why you can't run a 370 over 600whp "safely", hence why I was asking why you said that.

Sort of. I based my decision on what I was told from the guys doing the build and their recommendation and what THEY know (the key word being "know"), not what I know. I'll be the first to admit I don't know everything and don't pretend to try. But I put my faith in people who do.

We simply did not we feel comfortable going any more than that at this point, and frankly, I'm not ready for it anyways.

Understandable, I can't imagine using more than 600whp in this car, it will be a hell of a ride. Good luck with the build and keep the pictures coming

Thanx man. Will do. We're waiting on some parts to arrive before we can proceed much further at this point.

I'm pushing 605 rwhp on the dyno on my Z brotha grats my turbo is efficient up to 890 hp I'm currently running 7 lbs of boost safely. The turbo kit I'm using is sts turbo rear mounted ball bearing turbo.

The original target number was based off what was available at the time. We didn't expect it to take 4.5 months to get the pistons in. However, the new upgraded MAFS are already ordered and will be in shortly. This car really is going to be beauty and the beast all rolled into one. And it's gonna spool awesomely with the twin GT2871R's and still running 10:1 compression.
