[QUOTE="11GT50, post: 11998274, member: 128716"] Exactly. You could run 650 whp and baby it and be fine. You could also run 550 whp and beat the christ out of it and pop your motor in a few thousand miles. All depends on what you want to do with it. People tend to forget about all of the non-motor, ancillary items too. Driveshaft, half shafts, rear end, clutch etc. - they'll all suffer under increased power. It's worth it to take your time to do it right rather than slap a supercharger on there to make crazy power and then have a time bomb that's breaking down every few thousand miles for some reason or another.
