Message	I squeezed this out of one last week for several pulls and it drove home on its own power. But you really should consider building the engine when you get to around 500RWHP. The stock cast pistons simply will not tolerate detonation at that level and it is bound to happen. This will be the result: Broken ring lands allow the rings to leak and low compression ensues. You really should go through your car and get an idea of the condition of the engine as well as ensure that everything is right. Here's a link to a page I put together which will give you a good indication of where the engine stands mechanically and also how well the previous owner took care of things.
