325 whp NC
#8
Having worked with MZR's a lot I can tell you anything over 250 ft-lbs and you're guaranteed to put a rod threw the block sooner or later. Although the 2.0 liters seem to take boost way better, do to the shorter stroke. Whether the 2.0 liter in the NC's have any beefier of rods, idk. Good number none the less!

details: 2860 begi s3 kit, can't remember the a/r. I do the tuning, revs to 7400, 11.8-12.2:1 afr (rich for meth). 3" exhaust, cat + resonator. 14 psi, meth injection ~400cc on top. Custom 3" maf. motor has 50k hard miles on it. I have a DD so this is only for abuse.
Should the rods have snapped 100whp back? Yes, according to internet wisdom. Whoever says they can't make power and survive is wrong as evidenced. I think 99% of it is in the tuning. People run around with 2-5 degrees of KR and think its ok...but working the timings less aggressive nets more power since KR punishes you double.
Stock fuel pump, stock 6 speed drivetrain, fidanza flywheel, act hd clutch, stock ignition.
This kind of a p/w ratio should not be possible reliably for the cost of a 12k NC +6k in turbo/drivetrain/ecu but it is. 325hp is really for silliness, it is more than adequate at 250whp.
Of note, this is significantly higher than any of the cosworth blower systems (typically 200whp sc vs 250whp turbo at 8 psi)
Now if I could just put it down--the short gearing of the 6sp leaves no traction until 4th sometimes once the boost hits...even with 245 v700's.

But in this trim it is a true test of a tune designed for street and the occasional 140mph run up the gears, which it does very well.
