I prittymuch need to know what to do to this motor in order to make and hold up 400-500 whp motor lol.

im a noob at this so forgive anything i have said wrong....please help

 

The biggest thing you can do to help the motor "live" with boost is to install a set of high quality, forged, low compression pistons. I have had good luck with JE, but there are other good brands as well. The rest of the rotating assy. can certainly also be upgraded but if you are contemplating this, don't forget the rest of the drivetrain. You will need a McLeod Street Twin clutch if you are using a T56 and if you are using sticky tires a new rear end and driveshaft. If you are using an automatic, upgrades will also be needed.

If you're going to run boost higher than 6 psi, you'll need an intercooler. I ran 9 psi without a cooler for awile and was seeing intake temperatures at 212 degrees
