Steve that is some impressive power and torque for what is a standard bottom end with just long studs 👍🏻 I was under the impression that you needed forged pistons if you were going much over the 500bhp mark.
I told my mapper to give me something between 450-500 as didn't want to risk blowing it up as bottom end is still standard internals apart from valve cut outs. Forged bottom end was next on my list when It comes off the road at the end of this year. Maybe I should save myself some money and just push it a bit harder as it is.
Hoping manifold and turbo will be fitted and mapping should start next week.
