Redtop HP capacity
How's it going?
I recently had my Redtop rebuild and I was wondering how much HP I can safely have at about 10-12 pounds of boost as a daily driver. I know that the hp capacity of Redtops are 350-400, but since this was a fresh rebuild with slightly oversized cast alluminum pistons I was wonder wat the estimated hp it could take without the engine giving in. My plans are to have a dual ball bearing turbo (T3/T4 Garrett trim and a/r to be decided), GReddy Intake Manifold, Apexi Power FC, FMIC, Underdrive pully, basically the good stuff. Right now I only have a 10.4lbs lightened flywheel from JGY customs and an ACT HD 4puck clutch.
thx,

i dont know but i think you worded your question wrong.
Shouldnt you be asking how much boost you can have?
That is the horsepower maker.
You cant say okay i want 12psi and stop at a safe horsepower.
But for fun reasons have at least 250whp.
