Hay fellas i need some opinions to help me make a decision on a new turbocharger. I am very interested in the fp-3052 and the horsepower its capable of supporting. My question is i want to know do you think my block can handle 450whp? Here's what i done to my engine.

2g pistons and 1g rods
arp rod and head studs
crower retainers and springs
hks 264 intake and 264 exhaust cams
mildly ported head
evo VIII sodium filled exhaust valves
itm 2g cast pistons
acl race series rod and main bearings
rotating assemble balance and blueprinted

So what do you think? Can this block handle 450whp i think it can but i am always open to suggestions. Thanks
 
I don't know much about aftermarket ITM pistons but all the rest is good to go. Assuming ITM replacements are up to OE spec then you should be fine.

Thanks. I do know this, the reason i went with ITM pistons I read somewhere that they make OEM replacements for most manufactorers. They look to be of good quality. I Did not use their rings though. I ended up using hasting chrome piston rings.
