Max boost on stock internals

Its normally the rods that gives these stock engines trouble isnt it? And those are normally busted by the torque right?
Would pushing the power band higher (through a intake manifold with shorter runners) lower the peak torque slightly, allowing more high end power while reducing stress on the rods?

what kind of power could you make with a 1.8 with just arp head studs and a new head gasket? I'm gonna hopefully be finishing my drift build before the summer so I want to be able to push reliable power for the season but from this thread, people are saying you can make 250 with stock internals?

Damn, this thread has been double Necro'd. Impressive, newbs, impressive.
At this pattern, this thread should come to life again around 2023. Welcome to the Noob Comet thread everyone.
