As for bottle - If the cars built right then you will experience a car that feels like it's doing 130mph when its actually 180+
As for the heads its only what I have learnt from listening to people who have had those figures. They don't seem to like big boost / 550+ number.
Cylinder pressures just seem to be an issue.
How are you planning on securing head to block?
its got ARP's, when it was making 545.4 on the gt3582 i was only running 1.4 bar of boost, (obviously i realise 1.4 bar on a 35 is a hell of alot of air lol)
when we went for more boost we got to around 570+bhp at 1.7 bar and got valve float, this then is where i spat dummy out lol and went mental on the head and swapped turbo's.
see i REALLY dont want to blow the engine.. i just want to make a genuine 600bhp...
when i was at 545bhp i hit the limiter in 5th at 7200rpm and it reached it like lightening... but as people have said on here... that last 1k rpm will probably take a long time.. and especially now i have my non aerodynamic front bumper
