As is, 6-9lbs. is safe, just make sure you get it installed, by someone, that can properly tune it. If you want to run boost constantly, it's a good idea to have the bottom end done ex. crank, pistons, etc. I have a kenne bell, and I'm quite happy with it!Zrullac said:Has anyone or any organization fully tested the limits on this engine. How much boost can it safely take on a continuous basis. I am really getting into the research part of my decision to install a S/C. Thanks
I didn't mean to imply that I would run the engine in boost continuously, I just wanted to know what range of boost under normal operating conditions would be safe for that engine. I won't be using it for racing at a drag strip, just highway driving.mbrown3696 said:As is, 6-9lbs. is safe, just make sure you get it installed, by someone, that can properly tune it.

They do build complete shortblocks with forged crank, manley rods, forged pistons. The one I am considering is the street mod 900 for $2799 http://www.modularmustangracing.com/tw0scoops123 said:I think I'm going to wait till I have to buy a new engine to put in a SC. Until then I'm gunna throw on the whole intake tune, and pully system. I see all cars that come with factory blowers including cobra's, Cobalt SS's, etc, usually have forged internals. I'm guessing thats for engine longevity so they keep a decent warranty on the vehicle.
Do they built crate engines with forged internals? Or is that a complete custome job(ie mucho $$$)?
