I see a few guys pushing their cars into the 800 rwhp range. How far are people pushing these motors with good results? I'm very impressed thus far with the power levels I see coming from the Trinity motor!
Thanks Andy

how many miles are on it with 827? thats the question.
I've been over 800 for 5k miles. Still running strong. Drive it almost everyday. And she's put in some work in Mexico too

kind of my point the longevity hasn't really been tested... if you told me that there is a 20k life on the bottom end with 800rwhp i would say that isn't a good "limit".
Really? Are you saying if you got 20k miles out of it tuned to 800rwhp you would be disappointed?
If so, don't play the mod game.
I'll be at 800rwhp very shortly and I'm prepared to build the bottom end at anytime.
I think with a good tune and reasonable rpm limit (65-6700 range), they will last a long time.

I totally agree RPM is the killer, BUT with the Ford GT cams all these cars peak at 6600 range and run faster at the strip with higher shifts.A stock motor with new rods in it is safe to 13-1500 hp.
A bone stock motor, factory specs, I think is safe to 800-850 wheel as long as you shift no higher then 63-6400. Which is when they are out of steam anyway. There is no need to rev these cars over 6500 to 7000 rpm.
It's not getting 20k out of a stock motor, I'm saying IF you choose to modify up to 800rwhp, why would you be upset if there is a failure?Getting 20k out of a motor would certainly be unacceptable in my book. When people ask questions like the one by the OP, I think what they are generally looking for is how much power can I add and still have a reliable engine that will take me over 100,000 miles. The 03 cobra was a good example, you could pulley/tune/port blower and drive around with 500rwhp for the life of the car. I'm guessing the OP is looking for the '13 Shelby version of this.

I've been going with 750-800rwhp range as safe factory limit, I think anyone pushing 800rwhp has to expect potential failure if you actually use the 800rwhp. It'll break on the road or track, not a dyno.
