Nope...no zook is running 400hp without rods and pistons....sorry. you are wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here in Chicago. The Midwest is fucked now. Even the long term forecast doesn't look good. Kids are out riding bikes. The HS baseball team practiced outside yesterday.

I dont doubt that ....what I doubt is your knowledge of the setup. 400HP is 2871 or 5028 territory and nobody out there is running a turbo that large on a cat with stock rods and pistons. In fact most people go rods and pistons with just a compressor wheel upgrade because the cat is prone to self destructing over 325 or so HP if everything isnt 100% spot on perfect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also love the 1200 because its so robust. Jim at OSP told me over the phone he had no idea where the actual limit of the stock 1200 internals were. He said 600-700HP with a good tune. Obviously at those levels any issues result in catastrophic failure but the same would be true with forged internals. If you had ever held a stock 1200 piston and rod in your hand you would understand. The rods are double the thickness of an apex rod One of the guys on Dootalk logged a wastegate failure and resulting overboost on his 1200. It took 57lbs of boost and when they tore the motor down it had only bent one rod. No other failures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
