Re: how much boost

well boost varies it really depends on how much power it makes before it comes apart. You can have a p600b running 12psi and see lets say 550rwhp and you can use a F1 and run 10-12 psi and see 700rhwp.just an expample though. but the I beam rods i would think can only handle 550rwhp safely

i was thinking about the 600b kit or the p-1sc kit with 8 lbs of boost. im looking for around 450-500 of reliable rwhp. as long as i can run that im happy. would these kits be a good choice for my expectations or is there another option i have not researched yet.

go with a p1sc its quite and reliable. It will make 500 no problem i dont see why you should worry about anything with 500. Just make sure its tuned right and get a good set of head gaskets like Cometics. but people have had good luck with felpros as well
