Is this shop toying with me??

Just ask Tim for one...he said that he doesnt consider anything over 420RWHP is safe on a stock SB. Sure people can make 600 on the stock block, but if they beat on the car any then it WILL let go. Even at 420RWHP, the car isnt going to last forever lol. Depends on how you drive it GREATLY.
But personally, ill stick with Tim...he says 420RWHP MAX, then I wont go over 420. He knows what the heck he is doing.. much more than some guys at a magazine .

I'm runnign a 400 rwhp / 424 rwtq stock engine w/ 9lb IC Kenne Bell. I'm careful NOT to rev it over 5,800 RPM and have had it on the car for almost 14 months and over 22,000 miles. It's a daily driver.

I either have good luck, or good tune, or both.

Oh, and to address your first post, those prices seem in line with what other shops are charging. As far as the $500 dyno tune, that is also in line, but you don't mention whether a chip comes with that $500. The shops I know include a SCT chip with that $500 tune.

It has been said that RPM's kill the motor not the boost. If you intent on keeping the 4.6 stock keep the boost minimal, use a shift light(5500-5600rpm's) Thats what I'm doing. I'm at 391.3rw and have plenty to work with. A fraction of a second is not worth damaging the engine. 8#'s are plenty..you will not have less of a good time. Your installer will make you sign a waiver releasing them from liability before the dyno. If the motor blows you will hear oops..sorry. just my opinion

Considering you have a centri, how can you say it is not related to boost but RPM's? Boost on a centri is related directly to RPM's. Do you make the same boost at 4000 as you do at 5500?

I stopped knocking after the first couple of months/couple of thousand miles...

I'm about to break 68k on the car as it is.....
