hey guys.
i have two cars. one is a 90 tsi and its my daily driver getting a stock rebuild. my other car is a 91 gst that is getting mods. ive been planning what i want to do and ive decided that i want to fit 2g pistons on the rods, arp hardware, and a metal headgasket. ive done alot of research but i havent been able to find a solid answer on what the most power a shortblock like im buliding can make. all i can find are the stock 6 and 7 bolt power numbers. assuming i have perfect engine management and precise tuning, would my 2g/1g shortblock take 450wtq reliably?
