As of right now I have stock internals with a EVO 3 Big 16G, turboxs boost controller, 2 1/2 down pipe, boost gauge. Im planning on buying a t3/t4 hybrid, upgrade bov, upgrade wastegate, fmic, 255 walbro pump, 880 injectors, sheet metal intake, electronic boost controller, apexi safc... dont know if im forgetting anything, but im hoping for about 450 hp and what i was really wondering is if i get to where i want, will i need to change internals? (cam, crank, rods, pistons). and if so, around what hp should i? also if i forgot any mods above, please lemme know if u have any (all free mods are done)


thanks all
 
improper tunning and or supporting mods is the first thing that will kill a motors internals.
( knock - detonation )

Agreed and running 880s with just a safc and 255 without an afpr will get you there real fast.

Yep, I know of a GT35r equiped car that was running the stock bottom end making 535awhp. It has since been rebuilt for safety, but it ran right cause it was tuned properly.

Now I do not recommend that, but that is just to show that tuning can make or break you. Most of those that go 750's and above switch to a better unit than the S-afc II.
 
boost controller is pooping out on me so this week its going between 11-19... im putting it to stock tomorrow afternoon...
 
im not really up on the tuning portion of dsm's yet so any advice on what i need and what it does... i know i sound like an idiot but its been easy so far... or just any place where i can read up on it.
