Hey guys, had a question for the DSM Wisemen. I have a 95 GSX with a stock 7 bolt. I am currently running an 18G on 20 psi with all the supporting mods (Greddy FMIC, 660's, SAFC2, 3"Turbo Back, BOV, Walbro255, ect)

I have a AGP GT30 BB Turbo with a 65lb/min compressor, Manifold, Wastegate, O2 housing on the way. I will getting getting the car dyno tuned at one of the few AWD dynos in the NW. My question is, how much power can I safely make without worrying about blowing my stock head gasket? I've heard the rods are good up to around 400.

I don't have the money to replace the gasket right now - the turbo kit really tapped my funds. So can I keep it in the 330-350awhp range until I get a Cometic Gasket and ARP studs, or can I go lower or higher? The power and fuel will definitely be there, I just want to make sure my motor will also. Thanks, Kevin
 
If you have all those mods and are ordering all those parts and don't already have the knowledge of what the stock motor and components are capable, then you shouldn't be modding the car with them. :thumb:
