a correctly setup boosted car will reliably produce 420 easily, 450 depending on setup. and i mean reliably. i know 2 cars locally that have been boosted for over 100k miles now. only extra maintenance has been, of course, head unit rebuilds.

Well goody goody for you. I stand by my post 100%. Ask member CMEMach1 how it felt when his impeccably maintained, Jon Lund tuned, Procharged 9psi, stock bottom end broke a ring land after about 30k+ miles.
These stock engines have extremely soft rotating assemblys, and if you plan on pushing 125+ more horsepower, and pressures, than what they were intended for, you better have an insurance policy in the form of some decent rods and pistons, and that's a fact. Sure some people can walk that razors edge and get away with it, just like I'm still running the stock TR3650 tranny, after all the so-called experts claimed it would disintegrate under the kind of power I'm producing, but that doesn't make it the norm.
You're exactly the kind of person I wouldn't let touch my car with a 10 foot pole!
