Mine is at 392 RWHP, and getting the N20 very soon. So I guess we will find out.

That's about what I'm looking at, ~450+ flywheel hp and then nitrous on top of that. I figure if it's forged and from GM it should work fine.

By the way, what kind of setup are you running to get 392 at the wheels?

355 forged lower, with ARE stage 1's and a custom grind cam. Plus that ZZ4 crank

I bought a brand new forged zz4 crank off ebay a while back for around 220 plus shipping. About half of what the list price is from gm.I'll be running a forged 355 w/ 6in. rods, fully ported heads(270/194), lt headers, true duals, cc306, and a 150 shot. Should put out 500 at the wheels on the bottle.
