I dyno'd 843whp with eagle rods. On a fresh rebuild and proper tuning a stock bottom end should be fine around 400hp. Just prep the block and head and use a quality metal headgasket.

yeah ive been looking into metal head gaskets.i know a guy who has some 7m motors laying around so im going to pick one up and start building that one up.that way i can still drive the supra.
