Choker, got a couple of good coments for you regarding that 3V. The first is from the shop I do business with, and they really know their shit. The 2nd is from a local guy who has some experiance blowing shit up.

Quote:
We made 500rwhp on a stock 3v bottom end, Im sure its a time bomb, but its held up all summer, and a few trips to the track, till he spun it around.

But the 3v bottom ends, are the same as an older 2v. However because they have a better head and intake design they can make more HP at a lower RPM. 430rwhp should be just fine with a good tune.

Rember its RPM and detonation that kills these motors, not power.

It will probably take less than 12psi to hit the 430 mark anyway, there's several 550+rwhp turbo 3v's that are living, not that it's a good idea but it can be done. I've heard of one that ran all last season with 700+rwhp without incident.....just more proof it's not hp that's killing the powdered iron rods, they just have no room for error.
