It's not so much the block, but even with 400+whp (dyno dynamics) that on a DD tc with street tires, the car is scary fast. If you've never driven a tc with 400whp on the street and once you drive it and tell me that the power does not scare you, you're not being honest.
The problem here is breaking clutches, axles, wheel studs, tranny, etc. If you keep breaking those things, it's not much fun as a daily driver. And also it's not much fun if you can only run those power on race fuel.
We can get you the power you want, the question is can you afford the supporting mods and broken parts that come with all that power. Be careful what you wish for

I wish you could come down to florida and see some of the cars people claim 400-500whp in!
when i told people i want only 17-18 psi daily people are like what! WHY?
Its not fun to roast tires in every gear! 17-18 psi daily is very fast! And fun.
Again very very very nice setup OP

Yeah, we had to keep it quite for a while. His setup has pretty much everything we offered except for the cylinder head, camshafts, vac block, and suspension stuff. If he turned that car into a time attack car, it would be a serious contender in the RTA street or mod class. But the owner is building it more for street use.

My build is close to being finished. I just got to get back on boost. As for suspension wise, I need my coilover setup finished, BBK and ES main bushing set. I have sways and LSD.
I miss my boost though, can't wait to get back on it and be PTuned under the hood.
