bigger injector and turbo, but a lot of supporting mods need to be done to keep up with it.

About 500 hp. Head studs are needed when boost is over 40psi.

But your right on the line of playing with fire.

without studs 400hp is playing with fire. the real mark is 40 psi boost but 500hp requires a full engine build, well and do more than dyno runs with it!

I don't know. But if you don't have the cash to build a second engine you had better built the first on right or cut back on your HP.
