a little misinformation....an FP Green is VERY streetable
When did I say that it wan't streetable at all. Maybe my wording was a little bad there. It's streetable, but still has a little more lag than other turbos out there.

You do not need stronger anything to run a FP green to it's full potential. The FP is the perfect turbo for a 6bolt motor in stock form. FP greens have gone 125mph with stock cams, which is about what people are seeing with the "all so awesome SCM61 turbos"(makes jerking motion). If you don't know what your doing then stick with a 16g or even if you do know what you are doing. A 50trim turbo is something not to mess with lightly. Note the video of the 2g gsx blowing its motor because he decided to throw on a fp green without suporting mods.
BTW stock 4g63 heads have seen 8500rpms with 272/272 cams in them plenty of times with no problems. No need to upgrade them unless your going 414s or over 8500rpms imo.
Last I checked, the FP Green is capable of 500HP. I think that around those ranges, it is a good idea to upgrade the connecting rods. I believe xgstxguyx is running a 7-Bolt motor, not a 6-bolt. People pushing 8,500 RPMs constantly are also usually the ones you see pulled over on the side of the road with smoke pouring out of the hood. I'm not saying that there aren't any 4G63s out there that have taken a beating and still lasted for a long time, but typically, they croak earlier than some ay expect. No doubt, our engines are strong as hell, but they are not bullet proof.
